Do I need a doctor's referral?
A referral is not required, but we always recommend that you first talk to your family doctor about your concerns.
Please note we cannot cure tinnitus. However, we specialize in the non-medical rehabilitation of chronic auditory conditions that have persisted for at least 3 months, including tinnitus, hearing loss, and sound tolerance disorders (hyperacusis and misophonia).
If you have been experiencing symptoms for less than 3 months, are reporting medical symptoms such as vertigo, ear pain, or ear pressure, or are under the age of 18, please talk to your family doctor.
Who Can Be Seen at THHC?
Symptoms must be present for at least 3 months unless onset is caused by:
- Injury (e.g., Motor Vehicle Accident)
- Medical condition resulting in hearing loss (e.g., sudden hearing loss)
- Complications from recent surgery or major medical procedure
Booking Your Assessment
We offer different types of assessments depending on the scope and depth of your concerns.
Hearing Test (1 hour): $125 (complimentary for seniors 65+)
This is a basic check of your hearing to determine the presence and extent of any hearing loss and general middle ear function. Includes discussion of results and any recommendations pertaining to hearing loss.
Please note there is no discussion or investigation of more complex auditory concerns such as tinnitus or sound tolerance problems.
Tinnitus/Sound Tolerance Assessment (2 hours): $450
This is our most comprehensive assessment that, in addition to a check of your hearing, it involves more in-depth tests to examine the overall functionality and state of your auditory system as it pertains to more complex concerns, including tinnitus and sound tolerance issues (hyperacusis and/or misophonia). This appointment includes educational counseling on tinnitus and/or sound tolerance conditions as well as discussion of any treatment recommendations.
Forensic Audiology Assessment (2 hours): $450
A comprehensive evaluation for someone whose auditory symptoms (e.g., difficulties understanding speech, tinnitus, sound sensitivities, etc) are a result of a Motor Vehicle Accident or injury which involves legal or insurance investigation.
