Tinnitus Support Options
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
The Invisible Hearing Clinic is based in Glasgow, but our patients come from all around the UK and beyond. We specialise in supporting Tinnitus and Hyperacusis patients through face-to-face consultations and the use of telehealth to provide remote support to enhance their range of tinnitus support options.
Tinnitus Support Meetings
Alan Hopkirk organises a range of free online tinnitus support options, including Tinnitus UK’s (formerly BTA) Glasgow and West of Scotland Tinnitus Support group. This group meets several times a year for physical meetings next door to Invizear’s clinic in Central Glasgow.

FREE Hybrid Meetings
In Summer 2024, we will be trialling “Hybrid” meetings, a combination of our usual online sessions and face-to-face attendance at our Clinic in central Glasgow. These meetings will start at 5:30 pm GMT, allowing our local group members to attend in person or join our earlier start meeting online. We hope that this will create a more lively and interesting group dynamic.
You can talk to us on 0141 226 2268 about our free and paid tinnitus support resources. We will continue offering free support services to those suffering from Tinnitus and/or Hyperacusis. For many, this type of support will be all you need.
Expert Individual
Tinnitus Support
If the impact of tinnitus is particularly bothersome or you haven’t been able to progress on your own, we also offer a range of more detailed individual tinnitus support options, depending on your need. Your first step would be an online assessment and personal consultation, which is £295.00 (details below).
Personal (Remote and International Patients) Telehealth Assessment
This involves the completion of our detailed online tinnitus questionnaires and personal details of your tinnitus and hyperacusis journey. Our tinnitus expert (Alan Hopkirk) will then spend time offline analysing your responses and identifying the specific issues affecting you. This will form the basis of a one-hour individual online consultation, ideally, with your spouse, partner or significant other. The aim of the consultation is to focus on your relationship with your tinnitus and how you can turn this around. At the end of this session, you should have a clear understanding of your next steps and how to put them into action.
The fee for this online assessment and initial support is £295.00 (includes a complimentary clinic session to commence treatment).
Comprehensive Personal In-Clinic
Tinnitus Assessment
This includes all of the features of the remote assessment as above. First, we establish our focus and priorities. Then we will then arrange in-clinic tests to understand your auditory system in detail. At the same time, we will explain how we will optimise treatment for you.
We will then demonstrate our tinnitus treatment which is based on the Jastreboff Neurophysiological model. We apply an expanded holistic treatment with TRT – Tinnitus Retraining Therapy at its core. The explanation and further detail is a starting point for your long-term effective treatment as detailed below.
We determine your specific situation, the impact of your Tinnitus and/or Hyperacusis and any hearing requirements. Then we can design a treatment package tailored to your needs. This is based on the Jastreboff Neurophysiological Model. It involves a holistic protocol based on Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). The treatment is specific and fine-tuned for each patient.
Patients typically make significant improvements quickly. However, we know that making long-term changes requires perseverance and patience. Beware those who promise a “cure” or “instant fix”. Our treatment protocols provide full 18-month support. This ensures that we are there for you for the long term.
