Looking for
Tinnitus Relief
in Lake Mary?
Lake Mary's professionals and families deserve more than "learn to cope." Citrus Hearing's tinnitus specialists are in Clermont, FL — advanced care that's closer than you might think.
Our audiologists specialize in tinnitus — not as a side service, but as their primary focus. You'll speak with the same doctor every visit.
"Just manage your stress and it may improve."
Lake Mary is home to some of Seminole County's largest corporate campuses — financial services, tech, healthcare companies — and the professionals who work in them spend their days on calls, in open-plan offices, and commuting on I-4. That's a significant daily noise load, and over time it takes a toll that often doesn't show up until tinnitus does.
Too often, the response from a busy physician is to attribute it to stress or aging and suggest waiting it out. For working professionals who need to show up sharp every day, that's not a workable answer. Tinnitus affects concentration, meeting performance, sleep quality, and wellbeing — sometimes acutely, sometimes as a slow erosion.
At Citrus Hearing, we take a different approach. Dr. Pratesi has built a full-service audiology practice with a deep specialization in exactly these cases. We're in Clermont — about 45 minutes from Lake Mary on I-4 west — and it's one of the most worthwhile drives our patients make.
People fly in from across the world. Lake Mary is just down I-4.
Thorough initial evaluation
Not a 10-minute appointment. A real workup.
A personalized treatment plan
Based on your specific type and severity of tinnitus.
Access to advanced treatments
Including Lenire® — not available everywhere.
If patients fly in from overseas, I-4 west is nothing.
We've earned a reputation among patients who've exhausted their local options and want treatment that actually addresses the root of the problem — not just coping strategies. Lake Mary professionals are a core part of our Central Florida patient base, and we structure our scheduling with busy workdays in mind.
One comprehensive evaluation is all it takes to understand your tinnitus and what we can do about it.
The corporate corridor takes a toll that's easy to miss.
- Hours on calls with earbuds or headsets daily
- Open office background noise — all day, every day
- I-4 commute adding cumulative noise exposure
- Work stress amplifying tinnitus perception
- Sleep deprivation from tinnitus compounding job performance
Lake Mary runs on focus. Tinnitus quietly steals it.
Lake Mary's corporate campus culture means long days in front of screens, hours on video calls, constant background noise in shared workspaces, and significant commuting. It's an environment that puts real demands on hearing — and the ears pay a price that often goes unnoticed until tinnitus appears.
Many patients in tech, finance, and corporate services first notice their tinnitus during a particularly quiet moment — a Sunday morning, a vacation, an early commute before the traffic builds. By that point, it's been building for a while. And the stress that comes with demanding work can significantly amplify how loud and disruptive it feels.
Understanding this context is part of how we treat it. Your work environment matters. Your stress profile matters. Your specific type of tinnitus matters. We take all of it into account.
"Just live with it" is not a treatment plan.
Modern tools, individualized care, and honest conversations about what's possible for your specific situation.
Specialist focus
As the first Modern Tinnitus Specialty Centers in Florida, we bring a level of tinnitus expertise most clinics simply can't. And because we're a full-service audiology practice, we treat the whole picture — not just one piece of it.
Modern treatments
We offer treatments your GP has likely never heard of — including Lenire® bimodal neuromodulation, which uses combined sound and tongue stimulation to retrain the brain's response to tinnitus.
Personal continuity
You'll see the same specialist at every visit — Dr. Pratesi or Lauren Arnold. No rotating residents, no starting over with a new face. Your doctor will know your case as well as you do.
Treatments We Offer
Lenire® Bimodal Neuromodulation
Lenire is one of the most innovative tinnitus treatments available. It combines carefully calibrated sounds with gentle tongue stimulation to help the brain change how it processes tinnitus signals — reducing the loudness and distress over time. Not available at most clinics.
Digital Therapeutics
Clinically developed apps like OTO and Tinnitus Pro provide structured, evidence-based tinnitus therapy — cognitive techniques, sound therapy, and habit-building — guided by our team and accessible from home. An excellent complement to in-clinic treatment.
Tinnitus Evaluation
Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation — audiometric testing, tinnitus pitch and loudness matching, and a thorough intake to understand your history, triggers, and goals. This gives us the foundation to build a real treatment plan.
Hearing Aids for Tinnitus
For patients whose tinnitus is linked to underlying hearing loss, modern hearing aids can provide significant relief — both by amplifying ambient sound and by delivering built-in sound therapy features. We fit and program devices specifically with tinnitus in mind.
Modern Tinnitus Biometrics
Modern Tinnitus Biometrics uses advanced diagnostic technology to precisely measure your unique tinnitus profile. By analyzing auditory patterns and symptom characteristics, we create highly personalized treatment strategies that track progress and deliver more meaningful, lasting relief.
The nearest dedicated tinnitus specialist to Lake Mary is Citrus Hearing in Clermont — about 45 minutes west on I-4. While there are general audiologists and ENTs in the Seminole County area, a full-service audiology practice with this level of tinnitus specialization is rare in Central Florida. Our Lake Mary patients consistently tell us it's worth every mile.
Possibly — and not just in the ways you might think. Obvious culprits like loud machinery are well-known, but office environments carry their own risks: extended headphone use at high volumes, noise-cancelling headphones creating an isolated acoustic environment, open-plan office background noise requiring constant auditory effort, and job stress that amplifies how prominently tinnitus is perceived. During your evaluation, we'll go through your work environment in detail.
Very likely. Remote work changed the acoustic environment for millions of people — quieter home offices make tinnitus much more noticeable, while increased reliance on headphones for all-day video calls creates new exposure patterns. Many patients first became aware of their tinnitus (or noticed it significantly worsening) after transitioning to remote or hybrid work. This is a pattern we see regularly and factor into treatment planning.
ENTs are surgical specialists who see tinnitus as one of dozens of conditions they manage — it's rarely their primary focus. General audiologists focus primarily on hearing loss and hearing aids. As a full-service audiology practice with a deep specialization in tinnitus, we dedicate significant focus to the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of tinnitus and related conditions. That depth means access to treatments like Lenire® that most general practices don't offer, and a level of expertise that generalists simply can't match.
Yes — we work with our patients to schedule efficiently, particularly for those traveling from Lake Mary and Seminole County. We're a boutique specialist practice, not a high-volume clinic, which means appointments are structured around your needs. Reach out to discuss scheduling and we'll find something that works with your workday.
