Tinnitus
Tinnitus is real, it's common, and it's treatable. You don't have to simply live with it.
Dr. Deanene V. Harrison — a specialist in Tinnitus management with decades of clinical experience — is here to help you find real relief.
The Sound That Only You Can Hear
Tinnitus is the perception of sound — ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, humming, or other noises — in the ears or head without an external source. It is not a disease itself, but rather a symptom that can arise from a variety of underlying causes, including noise exposure, hearing loss, ear conditions, or other health factors.
Tinnitus affects people of all ages. For some, it is a mild and occasional annoyance. For others, it is persistent and significantly impacts sleep, concentration, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, effective help is available.
What Tinnitus Can Feel Like
Tinnitus presents differently for each person. Common experiences include:
Comprehensive hearing evaluation — the first step toward relief
Tinnitus Questionnaires
These validated questionnaires help you understand the impact Tinnitus is having on your life. Complete one or more before your appointment to help guide your evaluation.
Finding Relief Through Specialized Care
There is no one-size-fits-all solution for Tinnitus, which is why our approach is individualized and multi-faceted. Dr. Harrison uses a combination of proven therapies to help patients reduce the impact of Tinnitus on their daily lives.
LACE AI Tinnitus
An advanced technology-supported program designed specifically to help patients manage Tinnitus through structured auditory and cognitive exercises.
Tinnitus Rehabilitation Therapy
A structured therapeutic approach that addresses both the auditory and emotional dimensions of Tinnitus — helping patients reduce distress and improve their relationship with the sound over time.
Sound Therapy
The use of carefully selected external sounds to help mask or reduce the perception of Tinnitus, support relaxation, and facilitate habituation — the process by which the brain learns to tune out the Tinnitus signal.
Widex Zen Therapy
A structured program combining relaxation strategies, counseling, amplification when needed, and Zen fractal tones to ensure tinnitus doesn't control your quality of life.
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)
A habituation-based approach combining education, sound therapy, and consistent follow-up. The aim isn't to erase the sound — it's to change how your brain responds to it so it becomes neutral and easy to ignore.
A Structured Path to Habituation
Widex Zen Therapy is a structured program designed to ensure tinnitus doesn't control your quality of life. After assessing individual needs and your hearing profile, we combine the right elements from four core components.
Relaxation & Stress Reduction
Relaxation and stress-reduction strategies that support habituation and reduce the emotional burden of tinnitus.
Counseling & Education
Counseling and education to de-threaten the sound — helping you understand tinnitus so it loses its power to distress.
Amplification
Amplification when hearing loss is present, reducing the contrast between silence and tinnitus to ease perception.
Zen Fractal Tones & Sound Therapy
Zen fractal tones and other sound therapy tools that provide pleasant, non-repetitive sound to promote relaxation and mask tinnitus.
Tinnitus Retraining & Habituation-Based Care
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) and similar habituation approaches combine education, sound therapy, and consistent follow-up.
The aim isn't to erase the sound; it's to change how your brain responds to it, so it becomes neutral and easy to ignore. Progress builds over weeks and months with steady use.
You Don't Have to Just Live With It
Many people are told that nothing can be done about Tinnitus — that they simply have to learn to live with it. While there is currently no universal cure, there are effective, evidence-based treatments that can significantly reduce the impact Tinnitus has on your life. Dr. Harrison is here to help you find relief.
Hyperacusis (Sound Sensitivity)
Hyperacusis — decreased tolerance to everyday sounds — often travels with tinnitus. Dishes, voices, traffic: sounds that feel overwhelming or painful. We evaluate and treat both conditions together for the best results.
