Tinnitus symptoms can make life difficult, with ringing, buzzing, or hissing disrupting your hearing. It’s common for tinnitus symptoms to increase feelings of stress and anxiety over time, affecting your sleep, focus or confidence.
Our tinnitus assessment package offers diagnostic testing and a management pathway together. We aim to help clarify what is wrong in fewer appointments, with no referral required and no waiting list.
When ear or hearing symptoms don’t settle, a clear, straightforward approach is best. Our consultants support adults with tinnitus symptoms to find answers with as few delays and investigative stages as possible.

The app combines sound therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and mindfulness-based exercises, all scientifically proven to help retrain the brain’s response to tinnitus.
By regularly using Oto, many patients report improved sleep, reduced distress, and greater control over their symptoms within weeks.
Oto is an ideal complement to in-clinic treatment, extending your care beyond appointments and giving you daily tools for relief.
Mr Jameel Muzaffar is an Otologist with over 16 years of NHS experience in ear, hearing, and balance disorders. Specialising in tinnitus and hearing restoration, he holds fellowships from the TWJ Foundation and Royal College of Surgeons.

You’ll have time to talk things through properly, including what you’ve noticed, what’s changed, and what you’re most concerned about. Your appointments are structured to support a clear, straightforward diagnosis.
You’ll go home with a clearer explanation of what’s most likely causing your symptoms, and a practical plan for managing them going forward.
The diagnostic audiogram is the hearing test used to assess tinnitus. Our audiology team will talk you through the process, which involves pressing a button when you hear computer-generated tones at different pitches and volumes. The results are plotted on a graph, which the consultant will explain clearly, in the context of your history and symptoms.
Our Tinnitus Assessment is a combined pathway, bringing together expertise from ENT consultants, Audiology and Imaging departments to reduce delays and staged appointments.

Dr. Darr (ENT) is amazing at his job!! He is so patient and understanding and really validated my concerns
Mr Amit Parmar ENT who was so kind, humble and had excellent bedside manner. He put our minds at rest and we also learnt a lot from him.
The consultant was very pleasant and listened to my issues attentively.
The ENT consultation was thorough, friendly and reassuring. Dr Amit Parmar was very knowledgeable and clearly experienced. I felt my son was in very good hands throughout. Highly recommended.
Excellent attention to history leading up to voice issue. Very thoughtful in explaining the process of the endoscopy.

What’s included in a private tinnitus assessment?
A consultation with Mr Jameel Muzaffar (ENT Surgeon) plus a diagnostic audiogram (hearing test). MRI is added only if clinically indicated.
Will I definitely need an MRI?
Not always. MRI is used when there’s a specific clinical reason to investigate further, such as if the symptoms appear to be related to your nervous system.
Do I need a GP referral?
You do not need a GP referral to book with Midland Health.
How long does the assessment take?
The ENT consultation and diagnostic audiogram are separate appointments. The consultation is typically 30 minutes. Your follow-up audiogram and results discussion will be scheduled as required.
How does CBT help with tinnitus?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy doesn’t “turn off” the tinnitus sound itself. Instead, CBT can help you manage your responses to tinnitus sounds. This helps with the distress, anxiety, sleep disruption, and constant monitoring that can make tinnitus feel unbearable.
How do you test for tinnitus?
The diagnostic audiogram is the hearing test used to assess tinnitus. You’ll wear headphones and listen for computer-generated tones at different pitches and volumes, pressing a button when you hear each tone.
The results are plotted on a graph, which the consultant will explain clearly, in the context of your history and symptoms.
Can you assess tinnitus with dizziness or balance problems?
Yes, these symptoms are reviewed as part of the consultation and can influence investigation choices.
What if I have sudden hearing loss?
Seek urgent medical care immediately, sudden hearing loss is time-critical.
What happens after the tinnitus assessment?
You’ll discuss management/treatment options and leave with clear next steps, including any follow-ups or onward referrals if needed.
I’m worried about needing an MRI, what should I do?
Tell us in advance. If MRI is recommended, we’ll talk you through suitability and practical alternatives.
