Our Services
At The Hearing & Tinnitus Studio we offer a wide range of assessment services, products, and interventions to best suit your needs. Speak to us about how we can help you.
Hearing Assessment
Our audiologists will accurately measure the type and degree of your hearing loss, with a comprehensive diagnostic hearing test assessing the outer, middle and inner ear systems. With this information, they are able to recommend appropriate management, or refer you on to the necessary health care professional.
Hearing Devices
Should you require hearing aids, we will assist you in determining the best type of hearing aids for your hearing loss. We will fit the hearing aids using sophisticated software and continue to walk the journey with you, managing any hearing concerns you may have in the future.
Tinnitus Management
Tarryn obtained training in the diagnosis, management and treatment of tinnitus, internationally. She uses a well-researched and personally designed habituation program to help each individual patient reduce their perception of tinnitus.
This program encompasses elements of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Hyperacusis Management
Do loud sounds appear to be louder to you than to other people? Are you particularly sensitive to sound in your environment?
Hyperacusis is a debilitating disorder characterized by increased sensitivity to everyday environmental sounds. Our audiologists have had great success in helping patients to desensitize to these sounds using principles of TRT and CBT.
Industrial Testing
The Hearing & Tinnitus Studio provides baseline, screening and diagnostic assessments for industrial workers. We are able to deliver comprehensive reports and hearing health recommendations for your company's employees, in compliance with the current Health and Safety Act.
School Screening
We provide on-site school hearing screening tests and comprehensive reports for all ages and grades. We offer the option of a customized online parent questionnaire and payment portal, relieving the school of any additional admin.
Hearing Protection
We assist in impression taking and ordering of various hearing protection, including noise plugs for musicians, hunters, motorcyclists and industrial workers; as well as swim plugs and snore plugs.
Financing
Speak to us about managing the costs involved with maintaining your hearing health
At The Hearing and Tinnitus Studio, we believe that hearing aids are an investment in your hearing health. However, not everyone is able to manage the costs involved. For this reason, we offer assistance with various financing enterprises, making hearing aids more affordable for everyone.
Each hearing aid financier offers different cost and repayment options. Our audiologists will put you in contact with the financier that best suits your needs.
Testimonials
"Having suffered with tinnitus for so many years it was such a relief to be treated kindly by Tarryn and the team. They have been ready to help and advise every time I needed assistance.
The process of learning how to cope with tinnitus was a turning point in my journey."
Mr. C Meintjes
Ms. L Y-S Hattersley
"I was very pleased with the service I received. It was done professionally and with clarity and honesty about my situation and how best to handle it. The sessions gave me vital mental and emotional tools to work with and taught me how to harness the power of positive thoughts in order to re-channel the tinnitus and ultimately refocus one's energy away from the tinnitus.
The positive results were so rewarding. For me, the difference between the person I was when I arrived to the one that left after my fourth session, was miraculous."
Ms. L Y-S Hattersley
"The service and personal attention I received was absolutely fabulous. I will most certainly continue referring your practice to friends and family.
You went the extra mile for me for sure."
Ms. A Langer
Mr. R Brink
"Having endured years of embarrassment and humility from not realising my disability in hearing, I hold Tarryn Richardson Audiology in the greatest esteem not only for the professional medical service and advice I have received over the years but as a result of allowing me to lead an almost normal life again.
No issue is too much trouble no matter how trivial and is always undertaken in a courteous and effective manner."
