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 was a career firefighter and retired after almost 32 years of service. I left with a lot of great memories (some not so great) and a sense of fulfillment. But I left with mid range hearing deficits due to all the noise on emergency scenes. I have struggled for years comprehending conversations and started having ringing in both ears about a year ago. The Sound Relief Hearing Center has given me a plan to help get my life back. I know that sounds dramatic but I had no idea how bad my hearing deficit had become until I removed my hearing aids while in class last night. I actually noticed that I was able to look in someones eyes instead of reading lips, like I have done for so long.Franchesca is always very personable and was able to answer most of my questions, then transferred me to Dr. Brown, who coveres the rest and helped ease my concerns so I could focus on my therapy. They are true professionals who are passionate about helping patients take back control o their lives.

Dr. Brown was very helpful explaining my condition and the hearing aids she recommended. My appointment was great and Dr. Brown never was in a hurry. She wanted to know if we had any additional questions before we completed the appointment.

I have worn hearing aids for 20 years. In that journey I have seen practices across the country. I’ve worked with many doctors and audiologist's. I’ve tried about every brand. Nothing is easy or simple about the process. I’ve found my home with the team at Sound Relief. Wherever you are in your journey. They are the team for you. Just amazing service. Very flexible when making your hearing aid choice. And they work hard to make sure your hearing aids are set perfectly for you. Five stars across the board.

I was having great difficulty with the loud sounds in my head after being exposed to a firealarm. In 9 months with hearing aids the noise has been reduced to an off/on hiss. No caffeine too. This takes patience.

Love this place! Professional, friendly staff. They provide support, software updates, cleanings and adjustments as you progress with the hearing aides. Also seems to distract from my tinnitus.
