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 youโre 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 isnโt merely an ear issue; itโs 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. Thatโs 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 brainโs 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 clientโs 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.

Posted on Google Lat TangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hearing loss on my right ear after shower and cleaning with cotton buds. Was very worried and saw Dr Wei Cen for the first time. Experience was very pleasant, good and reassuring. From the reception to the Doctor, it was all friendly and professional! Everyone knows what they were doing and in next to no time I was in the treatment room having my hearing treated. The procedure was quick, zero discomfort and every steps explained in detail so that I could understand clearly what needs and will be done. Doctor Wei Cen was really good and I was out within 30 minutes! All problems resolved and surprisingly the costs was really affordable and fair. Would strongly recommend to everyone with hearing issues. Thanks Dr Wei Cen!Posted on Google Mary DunstanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wei Cin was very thorough in his testing of my hearing. He also gave me helpful tips on living with tinnitus. He recommended aids which I have and I find they seem to override the noise of the tinnitus. Iโm very glad I made the effort to go all the way to Canterbury from Oak Park. Wei Cin was excellent and I look forward to ongoing monitoring.Posted on Google Grecia Aguirre DediosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
