Neuromonics: personalised sound therapy for tinnitus
When you need structured support to help tinnitus settle into the background
A SIX-MONTH PROGRAM COMBINING SOUND THERAPY, CBT SKILLS & REGULAR REVIEWS
WHAT IS THE NEUROMONICS TREATMENT PLAN
Neuromonics is a personalised sound therapy program for tinnitus. You listen to clinically prescribed music through an app at home. The music is adjusted to your own hearing profile, so your brain gets a gentle, enriched sound signal to work with.
This supports habituation, the brain’s natural process of gradually treating tinnitus as less important. Alongside the sound therapy, we work on CBT-based skills for the thoughts, sleep and stress that keep tinnitus in focus.
The program runs over six months. You use the app daily and have regular reviews with me to track progress and adjust your plan. It works best when followed consistently, with guided support along the way.
WHO IS SUITED TO NEUROMONICS
Neuromonics may suit you if tinnitus has been present for some time and you’re ready for a structured, longer-term commitment to treatment.
It’s designed for particular hearing and tinnitus presentations, so it isn’t the right fit for everyone. That’s why every patient starts with an Initial Tinnitus & Lifestyle Assessment. Your assessment shows whether Neuromonics suits your hearing profile and goals, or whether another treatment plan would help you more.
The clinic runs two intakes a year. The next intake is February 2027
ABOUT THIS SERVICEOur Neuromonics assessment & treatment approach
WHO IT’S FOR
Tinnitus has been part of your life for a while, and it’s affecting your sleep, concentration or mood. You may have tried other approaches and want a structured plan with clear steps and regular support. Neuromonics suits people who are ready to commit to daily listening over several months.
THE ASSESSMENT
Every patient starts with an Initial Tinnitus Assessment. We look at your hearing, your tinnitus, and how it’s affecting your sleep, stress and daily life. This tells us whether your hearing profile suits Neuromonics, or whether another treatment plan would help you more. Afterwards, you receive a formulation letter and booklet, and we meet again on a call to talk through your results and recommendations. With your consent, a report goes to your doctor. The fee is $400, or $350 for seniors, pensioners and students.
THE PROGRAM
The program runs over six months. You listen daily through the Neuromonics app, using music adjusted to your hearing profile. Regular review sessions let us track your progress, adjust your plan, and work on CBT-based skills for the thoughts, sleep and stress that keep tinnitus in focus. The clinic runs two intakes a year, and the next intake is February 2027.
THE SCIENCE
Sound therapy is one of the approaches included in international tinnitus guidelines, used as part of a wider management plan (Cima et al., 2019; Tunkel et al., 2014). Clinical trials of Neuromonics reported reduced tinnitus distress for people with suitable hearing profiles (Davis et al., 2007). The evidence for sound therapy on its own is more mixed than for CBT (Sereda et al., 2018), which is why the program combines both.
How to book
Every patient starts with with an initial tinnitus assessment. This is where your clinician determines if Neuromonics suits your personalised tinnitus profile and hearing levels. The total fee for the Neuromonics program is $4,500 which covers the six months of treatment, reviews, and in app support with your clinician. After your assessment, there is no obligation to start the Neuromonics program
