Southwest Balance, Dizziness & Ear Institute is mainly known for balance and dizziness care, but its team treats tinnitus by looking at the whole person, not just the sound. Visits explore what type of tinnitus you have, how it started, and how much it affects your life. Dr. Susan Schmidt, the clinical director, counts tinnitus evaluation and treatment among her specialties, and founder Dr. Dana Day has over 30 years in Phoenix.
Sound therapy uses chosen sounds or music to ease tinnitus when it flares. Hearing aids can also be programmed to gently stimulate the brain's hearing pathways, which can lessen how much you notice the ringing. The practice points to a 2020 study of about 60 people in which a specific hearing technology helped 95% of them lower their tinnitus. Education and mindfulness round out the plan. To book, call (602) 265-9000 or visit 4004 N 7th St, Phoenix, AZ 85014.

Susan Schmidt, Jordan, and Miller were wonderful! I have had tinnitus for almost a year now due to a car accident and concussion. I have felt pretty hopeless about recovery, and they gave me great knowledge, information, and recommendations today. I have hope again! The staff was incredibly friendly, and they really listened to me. I felt like this was a very tailored experience and not a "one size fits all" approach. Highly recommend!!

I went in back in December to address my issues with tinnitus. The staff here were very kind. My hearing test was very thorough and I left with a greater understanding of my tinnitus and how to help myself. I definitely recommend this office to anyone

Thank you for the most wonderful experience. I am so happy I chose you guys to get help with my tinnitus and hearing loss. The entire staff is excellent at their jobs and I really felt cared for on a personal level. Although I knew I desperately needed hearing aids what really pushed me to come in was my tinnitus. You have given me hope that this is truly a treatable condition.
