Tinnitus Assessment & Management

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in your ears or head without an external source. It can appear as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or pulsating sounds and may affect sleep, concentration, and overall

wellbeing.

At Time 2 Hear, we take a holistic, biopsychosocial approach, recognising that tinnitus involves ear health, brain processing, stress, lifestyle, and overall health.

Shevawn Becker, Principal Audiologist and founder of Time 2 Hear, combines extensive professional training with personal experience of hearing loss, tinnitus, and Meniere’s Disease.

• Specialist Training: Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), CBT for tinnitus, sound therapy, mindfulness, and advanced hearing aid strategies.
• High-Frequency Hearing Expertise: One of the few clinics in Australia with high frequency audiometry, testing the whole hearing system.
• Integrated Perspective: As a trained naturopath, Shevawn incorporates lifestyle, sleep, stress, and wellness strategies alongside audiological care.
