Hyperacusis & Sound Sensitivity Treatment in Melbourne
We deliver gentle, brain-centered care to help alleviate sound sensitivity, improve comfort, and nurture your everyday wellbeing.
Understanding Hyperacusis and Sound Sensitivity
Hyperacusis is a condition where normal sounds can feel painfully loud or just plain uncomfortable. If youβre someone who struggles with sound sensitivity, things like traffic, chatting with friends, or the noise from household appliances can easily become overwhelming. At NeuroHearing, we get that hyperacusis isnβt merely an ear issue; itβs often tied to how the brain processes sound.
Many people experience a range of hyperacusis symptoms, from mild discomfort to significant distress in noisy environments. Sound sensitivity can really impact your sleep, social confidence, and overall emotional well-being. Thatβs why getting support early on is so important. With the right assessment, including a professional hyperacusis test, and tailored care, we can help ease discomfort, boost sound tolerance, and create a more peaceful listening experience. Our Melbourne clinic provides compassionate guidance for clients navigating hyperacusis and related hearing challenges.

Our Gentle, Brain-Focused Approach to Sound Tolerance Care
At NeuroHearing, we take a calm and supportive approach to hyperacusis care. Because sound sensitivity often involves the brainβs response to noise, we focus on improving how sound is processed over time, not just blocking it out.
We begin with a thorough hearing assessment to understand each clientβs triggers, hearing health, and sound tolerance levels. From there, we develop tailored strategies that may include gradual sound therapy, hearing technology support, and practical lifestyle guidance. For some clients, a carefully fitted hearing aid for hyperacusis may also help improve comfort and sound control.
Our goal is to help clients feel safe and comfortable in everyday environments again, while reducing stress and improving overall quality of life through gentle, brain-focused audiology care.

Thanks Weicen!Posted on Pirry RestrepoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Service was excelentePosted on michelle staughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Neuro hearing on Instagram and sent an enquiry about tinnitus. The audiologist, Weicen Yan called me back promptly to make an appointment. It was very helpful to understand that my hearing and tinnitus could be connected and that stress can make it worse. At 58 I have mild hearing loss, worse in my right ear, but it doesnβt worry me enough to act on it. Weicen suggested we monitor it over the next year or so and if it gets to a stage where I want address it, I would definitely ask Weicen for his assistance.Posted on Carol TaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to Neurohearing as one of my ears were blocked. Wei Cen used suction to clear my ears and the before and after was shocking. Would recommend!Posted on Michael CatchpoleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Weican provided me with a greatwr confidence with dealing with Hearing Specialists. I was treated with respest, professional answers to my many questions and explained in detail the meanings of every hearing test. A brillinant experience.Posted on RavinduTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Weicen was great. One of my ears was itchy and I wasn't able to clean it up properly and Weicen did a full clean on the ears. No more itchy sensation in the ear and very reasonably priced.Posted on JanetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowing little of audiologists, a quick ring around those in my area suggested not all clinics are equivalent in their services offered. I rang NeuroHearing, spoke with the audiologist Weicen Yan, who took the time to answer my questions and also discuss my hearing, which placed this practice well above all others I contacted. My assessment appointment was thorough and Weicen's explanations of each audiology test and the results and recommendations were clear and considerate. The fitting of appropriate hearing aids on a 30 day trial, which includes follow-up visits, were calibrated carefully to my individual needs. I highly recommend NeuroHearing and Weicen's caring, scientific and comprehensive services.
