We Are Bringing Lenire to Our Community!

We’re excited to share that we will be hosting a Lenire field clinic with Dr. Emily McMahan, one of the first Lenire providers in the U.S. and a leading global expert in tinnitus care. We encourage you to reach out to her clinic to determine if you qualify for treatment.

Dr. McMahan is based in Alaska and licensed to practice in California. To begin, you’ll need a hearing test completed within the past six months. If you don’t have a recent audiogram, we would be happy to assist you. Visit our website www.calhearing.com or call 650-342-9449 to schedule an appointment.

Once the Alaska Hearing and Tinnitus Center receives your audiogram and completed paperwork, they will arrange a telehealth consultation with Dr. McMahan. The consultation, which costs $325, includes a thorough review of your medical and audiological history to determine eligibility for Lenire. While many insurance plans cover telehealth services, you will be provided with documentation to submit a claim to your insurance provider.

If you are a candidate for Lenire treatment, Dr. McMahan will schedule an in-person fitting session at our California clinic. This streamlined process ensures you receive personalized care designed for your unique needs.

For questions or further assistance, please contact the Alaska Hearing and Tinnitus Center staff at office@akhtc.com or call 907-522-4357 and ask for Jamie, the Lenire Coordinator.

Tinnitus Therapy

Several of our Audiologists are Certificate Holders of Tinnitus Management (CH-TM) , as recognized by the American Board of Audiology.

CH-TM is a comprehensive tinnitus management education program providing essential information for assessing and managing patients with tinnitus or decreased sound tolerance. 

A ringing sound in the ears, also known as tinnitus, can indicate something as simple as an abundance of earwax or a more serious condition. Hearing loss, long term exposure to loud sounds, and certain medications can all cause tinnitus. Whether you hear a ringing, buzzing, or clicking sound, the team at Audiology Associates of Westchester can help identify and treat your tinnitus.

Types of Tinnitus Therapy

Ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, is more than just an occasional nuisance after a loud concert. For millions of people, it’s a daily struggle that affects concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Some experience constant ringing or buzzing in both ears, while others notice it comes and goes, sometimes affecting only one ear. In severe cases, tinnitus can even overpower everyday sounds, making communication and social interactions difficult.

At California Hearing Center, we know how frustrating tinnitus can be. The constant noise can disrupt your work, relationships, and rest. Lack of sleep and heightened stress can even make tinnitus symptoms worse. The good news is—you don’t have to suffer in silence. Our Doctors of Audiology bring over 20 years of experience helping patients manage tinnitus using advanced testing, evidence-based therapies, and modern sound technologies.

What Is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head without an external source. It is most commonly described as:

  • Ringing
  • Buzzing
  • Hissing
  • Clicking
  • Roaring

The loudness and pitch vary from person to person and may change depending on your environment.

Common Causes of Tinnitus:

  • Hearing loss from loud noise exposure
  • Age-related hearing decline
  • Inner ear disorders
  • Nervous system or circulatory issues
  • TMJ (jaw joint) or cervical spine problems
  • High blood pressure
  • Head trauma or concussion

Because tinnitus has many possible triggers, a comprehensive evaluation by a Doctor of Audiology is essential. Identifying the underlying cause is the first step toward relief.

Is There a Cure for Tinnitus?

Currently, there is no single cure for tinnitus. However, there are proven, effective ways to manage and reduce symptoms. Many patients find lasting relief through:

  • Sound therapy and tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT)

  • Hearing aids with tinnitus masking features

  • Stress and sleep management strategies

  • Lifestyle adjustments tailored to your health

With the right treatment plan, you can minimize the impact of tinnitus and regain control over your daily life.

Take the First Step Toward Relief

You don’t have to accept tinnitus as a permanent part of your life. At California Hearing Center, our expert audiologists combine advanced diagnostics with personalized care to help you find relief.
