Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

Specialist audiological treatment for Tinnitus, Hyperacusis & Misophonia

When tinnitus or sound sensitivity starts to take over

Tinnitus and sound sensitivity can quietly take control of daily life.

Many people tell us:

• “I hear the sound all the time and can’t relax.”

• “Every day noises feel overwhelming.”

• “I’m constantly on edge, even when nothing is happening.”

• “Doctors say my ears are fine, but I don’t feel fine.”

If this feels familiar, you are not imagining it — and you are not alone.

At All Ears Hearing & Tinnitus Clinic, we specialise exclusively in tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia. Our approach is based on Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), a structured audiological treatment designed to retrain how the brain and nervous system respond to sound.

⚠️ Important information about sound use

Please do not attempt to use sound therapy on your own without specialist guidance.

While sound is a key part of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), using the wrong type of sound, at the wrong level, or in the wrong way can worsen tinnitus or sound sensitivity.

If you notice that:
• a particular sound makes your tinnitus louder later, or
• your tinnitus feels more intrusive after using a sound, or
• your sound sensitivity increases after sound exposure this is an important sign that your auditory system does not tolerate that sound in that form.

This does not mean sound therapy is wrong for you — it means it needs to be used correctly and individually.

• assess how your auditory system responds to sound
• teach you which types of sound are appropriate for you
• guide you on how loud, how long, and when to use sound
• adjust sound therapy carefully over time as your system stabilises

Sound therapy in TRT is therapeutic, not random.

Correct guidance is essential to avoid reinforcing tinnitus or sound sensitivity.

TRT across all ages and neurodivergent profiles

Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) can be provided across the lifespan, including for young children (from around 3 years of age) and for individuals who are autistic or neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, intellectual disability, or other developmental differences. TRT is adapted carefully to the individual’s developmental level, sensory profile, communication style, and family context. With the right specialist guidance, TRT can be delivered in a safe, supportive, and effective way, even for those who have found other approaches overwhelming or unsuitable.

Why specialist guidance matters

TRT is highly protocol-dependent.

Incorrect counselling or sound use can reinforce symptoms rather than reduce them.

• Are formally trained in TRT protocols

• Individualise sound therapy carefully

• Monitor and adjust treatment over time

• Treated 100s of patients with intrusive tinnitus and severe sound sensitivities.

The sooner you begin Tinnitus Retraining Therapy; the sooner you will experience relief. You do not have to live with tinnitus and sound sensitivity distress.
