Tinnitus Treatment

Specialist tinnitus care from independent audiologists in Marylebone — since 1964

Tinnitus is often manageable with the right clinical approach. While there's no universal cure, targeted therapy can significantly reduce symptoms — and in some cases, resolve them entirely.

Tinnitus can affect anyone at any stage of life. We regularly support musicians, motorsport professionals, and those in high-noise industries like rail and heavy machinery. But it's not always noise-related. It may appear suddenly or build gradually. For some, it's just background irritation; for others, it's deeply distressing.

Our tinnitus treatment is grounded in a thorough assessment of contributing factors, including sleep, nutrition, and stress. It's a misconception that nothing can be done — specialist care can make a measurable difference to quality of life. In some cases, treatment may include tinnitus sound therapy or tinnitus retraining therapy as part of longer-term tinnitus management. In some cases, treatment may include tinnitus sound therapy or tinnitus retraining therapy as part of longer-term tinnitus management at our Marylebone clinic.

One of our areas of specialisation is the diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus, a condition causing the perceived sensation of ringing, buzzing or humming in the ears. Because tinnitus and stress are inter-connected, we will look at your lifestyle and stress levels.

1 in 7 adult Brits are tinnitus sufferers.

So what is tinnitus? Most of us have left that loud music concert and had a ringing in our ears. This is a temporary form of tinnitus and although annoying for a short while, it generally subsides after a few hours.

Imagine a constant ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears — always there. For some, it’s mildly annoying. For others, it can be overwhelming, affecting sleep, focus, and emotional wellbeing.

Tinnitus isn’t an external sound; it’s a perception, triggered by complex interactions between the ears and brain. You may feel alone in it, but you're not. Around 15% of people worldwide experience some form of tinnitus. Among those with hearing loss, that number rises to nearly 70%.

Far too often, people are told there’s nothing that can be done. In reality, several tinnitus relief options exist, including sound therapy for tinnitus and structured tinnitus counselling. This may include personalised tinnitus care focused on reducing impact rather than eliminating sound. At The Well Being BY CUBEX, we understand the real impact tinnitus can have and we know how to help. Our brains are capable of adapting, filtering, and recalibrating. With the right support, tinnitus can become far less intrusive.

Your journey with us starts with a full hearing and tinnitus health assessment. Tinnitus is closely linked to stress and emotional wellbeing, so we take time to understand how it feels for you — and how it’s impacting your daily life. This first step often brings real relief.

Next, we work with you to develop a personalised tinnitus management plan — tailored to reduce the impact of tinnitus on your emotional, cognitive, and physical wellbeing. Elements of our CALM Programme may form part of your care, and we’ll be by your side throughout the process, helping you integrate support tools into your life.

If you think you may have tinnitus, reach out. Whether your symptoms are mild or more severe, we’re here to listen, support, and help you reclaim a sense of calm and control. 

What causes tinnitus?

Tinnitus is a symptom, not a condition in itself — which is why identifying contributing factors is an important part of any assessment. Common triggers include:

  • Noise exposure — the most common cause, affecting musicians, motorsport and transport workers, and anyone regularly exposed to loud environments

  • Ear wax build-up — compacted wax can directly cause or worsen tinnitus; in these cases, professional microsuction can bring rapid relief. See our ear wax removal service →

  • Age-related hearing change — tinnitus frequently accompanies the gradual shifts in hearing sensitivity that occur over time

  • Stress and anxiety — tinnitus and the nervous system are closely connected; stress is a known factor in both triggering and amplifying tinnitus

  • Certain medications — some drugs can affect the auditory system; if you've noticed tinnitus after starting a new medication, it's worth discussing with your GP and an audiologist

  • Ear or sinus infections — tinnitus can accompany temporary infections and may resolve once the underlying issue clears

In some cases, no single cause is identified. A thorough clinical assessment is the right first step regardless.
