What to know
A clearer look at this service
NYHD I TinnitusCare has been seeing patients at our Harrison office since February 2024. NYHD works from a multidisciplinary, 360-degree approach to tinnitus management. We bring the audiometric testing and the hearing history, which matters because tinnitus and hearing loss commonly occur together, even in patients who have not noticed any hearing difficulty.
NYHD's clinicians have more than 25 years of experience in tinnitus care. Among the options they offer is Lenire, a bimodal neuromodulation device that holds FDA De Novo authorization for the treatment of tinnitus. De Novo is a marketing authorization for a device type the FDA had not classified before. It is not a finding that the device will work for you. Lenire is not right for everyone who asks about it, and candidacy is decided after an evaluation.
The partnership was also set up as a referral resource for other healthcare providers in the region. No one here will promise you a cure. What the first visit does is establish whether hearing loss, earwax, noise exposure, or a medication is part of the picture, and what can be done about the part that is treatable.
Helpful notes
Track when tinnitus is most noticeable before the visit.
Tell the team about sound sensitivity, sleep changes, or sudden onset.
Do not rely on online tinnitus claims without clinical guidance.
Related care
Several of our audiologists are Certificate Holders of Tinnitus Management (CH-TM), recognized by the American Board of Audiology. The CH-TM program covers the assessment and management of patients with tinnitus and of patients with decreased sound tolerance.
Decreased sound tolerance is the other half of that work. Some patients come to us because ordinary sounds have become uncomfortably loud rather than because of ringing, and it is worth saying so at the first visit.
Tinnitus is a symptom rather than a diagnosis on its own. It can point to something as ordinary as a plug of earwax, or to hearing loss, to noise exposure, or to a medication you are already taking.
Tinnitus in one ear only, tinnitus that pulses with your heartbeat, a sudden drop in hearing, or severe dizziness should be discussed with a doctor promptly rather than held for a routine appointment.
A ringing in the ears can mean something as simple as an abundance of earwax, or something that needs closer attention. Hearing loss, long-term exposure to loud sound, and certain medications can all cause tinnitus. Ringing, buzzing, hissing, and clicking are all common descriptions, and describing the sound is one of the first useful steps. Get in touch to talk through what you are hearing or to schedule an appointment.
Types of Tinnitus Therapy
At Audiology Associates of Westchester, we utilize the following tinnitus therapies:
Hearing Aids – When tinnitus comes with hearing loss, hearing aids give the brain more real sound to work with, and the ringing often becomes less prominent.
Maskers – A tinnitus masker is a small electronic device that adds a low background sound so the ringing is less noticeable.
Allergy Treatment – Allergy symptoms can make tinnitus worse, so treating the allergies is part of the plan when they are part of the problem.
What Should I do if I Have Tinnitus?
If you hear a ringing in your ears, make an appointment. Our offices are in Harrison and Somers, NY, and the NYHD I TinnitusCare sessions run at Harrison. The visit starts with audiometric testing to find the extent and the source of the problem. You leave with treatment suggestions and, where the findings call for it, a referral to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. In the meantime, avoiding loud noise, alcohol, and smoking keeps symptoms from getting worse. Call us today to schedule your appointment!
What to expect
What a tinnitus appointment actually involves
- We take the history first
When the sound started, what it sounds like, whether it is in one ear or both, what makes it better or worse, and how much it is affecting sleep, concentration, stress and daily life.
- A hearing evaluation, because tinnitus rarely travels alone
Tinnitus and hearing loss commonly occur together, even in patients who have not noticed any hearing difficulty. Testing may include a hearing evaluation, speech understanding, middle-ear measures and an ear inspection.
- Tinnitus pitch or loudness matching, where it helps
Some patients benefit from matching the frequency and level their tinnitus most closely resembles. It is not a severity score; it is a starting point for counseling and a way to track change.
- We go through the findings in clear language
What we found, what we did not, and which management options actually apply to you: education, sound strategies, hearing aids, maskers, treating an allergy or earwax that is making it worse, a Lenire candidacy conversation, or a medical referral.
- A plan matched to your results and symptoms
Recommendations are personalized rather than generic, and nobody here will promise you a cure. What the first visit does is establish whether hearing loss, earwax, noise exposure or a medication is part of the picture, and what can be done about the part that is treatable.

De Novo is a marketing authorization for a device type the FDA had not classified before — it is not a finding that the device will work for you, and candidacy is decided after an evaluation.

Decision guide
Choose this appointment with confidence
This is a good fit when
- Ringing, buzzing, hissing, or sound sensitivity is affecting focus, sleep, or mood.
- Tinnitus is paired with hearing difficulty or listening fatigue.
- You want practical strategies instead of guessing with apps or masking sounds alone.
This may not be the first step when
- Pulsatile tinnitus, sudden hearing loss, severe dizziness, or neurological symptoms that need prompt medical guidance.
- A one-time blocked-ear sensation that first needs ear inspection or medical assessment.
What the visit should clarify
- Discussion of tinnitus history, triggers, hearing changes, and daily impact.
- Testing or recommendations selected around the tinnitus pattern.
- Education, sound strategies, hearing technology options, and referral guidance when appropriate.
Useful questions to ask
- Are my tinnitus symptoms connected to hearing loss?
- Which symptoms should prompt medical follow-up?
- What can I try between visits to reduce the impact?
