Sound Relief Tinnitus and Hearing Center – Scottsdale

audiologist scottsdale az

If you live in or around Scottsdale or Phoenix with tinnitus, decreased sound tolerance (hyperacusis, misophonia, or phonophobia), or diminished hearing, you are not alone. These issues put a strain on your quality of life and leave you feeling agitated. At Sound Relief Tinnitus and Hearing Center Scottsdale, we will provide you with the help you need and the relief you deserve.

Helping people with tinnitus has always been our primary focus. When we opened Sound Relief in 2011, our mission was – and continues to be – simple. Eradicate the misconception that nothing can be done to treat tinnitus and help as many people as possible. Almost 10 years later and nearly 10,000 patients helped, Sound Relief has become a beacon of hope for people across the United States who cannot find relief elsewhere. Our first clinic in Arizona is in this Scottsdale location, and the reception was incredible. Our vast collective experience from primarily working with tinnitus sufferers combined with Dr. Julie’s leadership and our expertise utilizing Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) allows us effectively treat even the most complex cases.

We also specialize in hyperacusis – also known as sound sensitivity or decreased sound tolerance. Treatment for hyperacusis and tinnitus are very similar, and our experience lends itself to very successful outcomes with our patients.

Of course, as audiologists, we also help many people with diminished hearing as their primary concern. Since all of our providers are Doctors of Audiology, patients can count on exceptional, personalized care, without exception.

Whatever your issues with sound, Sound Relief Scottsdale is here to help!

Tinnitus

Tinnitus

If you experience a constant buzzing or ringing sound in your ears, it’s likely that you’re living with tinnitus. This phenomenon is characterized by the perception of sound when no external source for this sound is actually present. The severity of tinnitus varies from person to person, and we offer several treatment options to help alleviate your tinnitus symptoms. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) treats both the symptoms and the source of tinnitus by utilizing sound therapy. Counseling, relaxation methods, hearing instruments, or a combination all of these are the tools we have found most effective for many tinnitus sufferers.

Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis can be described as an uncomfortable, heightened sensitivity to sound or decreased sound tolerance. If you live with this issue, everyday sounds such as doing the dishes, watching TV, or even a simple conversation, can be incredibly annoying or even cause pain. The severity of hyperacusis varies from patient to patient and can lead to migraines, ear pain, and daily discomfort. Take the first step towards relief and schedule an appointment at our Scottsdale hyperacusis center. We will evaluate your situation, answer your questions, and provide our treatment recommendation..

Hearing Tests and Evaluations

Hearing Tests and Evaluations

Have you noticed a change in the clarity of your hearing? If so, it is probably time to schedule a hearing test. This is a straightforward evaluation designed to provide your audiologist with crucial information about your hearing health. Hearing tests include a comprehensive review of your medical history, a thorough ear examination, and various tests to determine which frequencies you may struggle hearing or understanding.

Hearing Aids

Hearing Aids

Our audiologists have a plethora of hearing aid styles, technology levels, and manufacturers to choose from, and they will work with you to determine which device is perfect for you. Selecting the right hearing aid can be life-changing, but only if you get the right one. Another major component is being partnered with an audiologist you can trust to ensure your fit and programming is excellent. You will find that level of commitment and expertise here at Sound Relief.

Wax Removal

Wax Removal

If you’re experiencing ear wax build-up, our highly-trained audiologists can help. The amount of time varies greatly depending on the amount of wax and ear anatomy so we highly recommend scheduling an appointment. We charge between $50 – $100 per ear for this service.

I had an emergency my right hearing aid was not charging in its charger. I called Francesca Zavala at Sound Relief. She said to come into the Office right away. Francesca and Layla Fotouhi went to work right away to try and fix my Hearing Aid. It has to be sent to Oticon, so they gave me Loaners to hold me over. How good is that. Even Dr. Madison Brown Au. D., FAA. CH-TM came out to say hi and make sure things were okay. I am always pleased with Sound Relief they take good care of me In Arizona & Colorado. Jim Henry

Madison is very knowledgeable and takes ample time to explain how tinnitus develops and what is recommended to get relief. Even though I haven't been on the program very long I can tell there has been some improvement. I am pleased with the results I've seen so far.

Best for balancing my Tinnitus. I’ve always used the over the ear style hearing aids until Dr. Brown introduced me to the Lyric 4. The clarity of my conversations are incredible plus the volume of my tinnitus has dropped by 90%! I highly recommend the Hearing Center, Dr. Brown, and the Lyric 4 if you are serious about improving your life.

I admit that, during Covid, I wasn’t the best patient. I let the isolation of Covid interrupt the progress I was making with my SoundRelief heating devices. The devices did make a difference, and I’m kicking myself now that I wasn’t a faithful patient. But Franchesca helped me get back on track. I mailed my devices back to SoundRelief for diagnosis of a problem with one of the devices. Franchesca was so kind and helpful, and my devices are on their way back to me so I can begin again my tinnitus progress. My hearing devices did make a difference, and I look forward to working with SoundRelief again. Their approach makes sense and does make a difference. I love the caring employees who want clients to experience progress and alleviation. I highly recommend.
