Looking for Tinnitus & Hearing Care in The Villages?
You don't have to keep living with the ringing in your ears - or the hearing aids that just aren't working correctly. Patients come from all over the world to see Citrus Hearing's specialist audiologists. We offer advanced, evidence-based hearing and tinnitus treatment — just a short drive from The Villages in Clermont, FL.
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 learn to live with it."
If you've visited a large hospital system, hearing aid clinics or a general ENT near The Villages, there's a good chance that's exactly what you heard. Tinnitus, that persistent ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sound, is often dismissed as untreatable. It's not.
At Citrus Hearing, tinnitus is our deepest area of specialization within a full-service audiology and hearing care practice. We focus primarily on the kind of complex hearing and tinnitus cases that big clinics don't have the time or tools to address. Every patient gets a thorough evaluation, a personalized plan, and access to the most advanced treatments available including Lenire bimodal neuromodulation, one of the most innovative approaches in tinnitus care today.
Yes, we're in Clermont — about 45 minutes west of The Villages. Many of our patients come from The Villages and tell us it's one of the best drives they've ever made.
We've served patients from 40+ states and 10+ countries.
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 board planes to see us, you can take the Turnpike.
Patients come to Citrus Hearing because they've exhausted their local options and want real answers. They find us through specialist referrals, online research, tinnitus support communities, and word of mouth from others who've found relief here.
That reputation wasn't built through marketing. It was built one patient at a time, with treatments that actually work and care that actually listens. For patients from The Villages, getting a second opinion or a first real evaluation has never been closer.
The Villages is one of the most social communities in America.
- Live music every night at the town squares
- Golf, pickleball, and rec center leagues
- More than 3,000 clubs and social groups
- Dinners, shows, and events with neighbors
- Phone calls and visits with kids and grandkids
Life in The Villages doesn't slow down. Your hearing shouldn't either.
Everything that makes The Villages special runs on hearing. The band at the square, the banter on the pickleball court, the conversation at dinner. When hearing loss goes untreated, people don't just miss sounds, they start skipping the nights out, the club meetings, and the calls that keep them connected.
Many residents also recently lost their trusted hearing clinics when The Villages Health changed hands, leaving hearing aids without a home and treatment plans in limbo. As a family-owned, independent practice with board-certified Doctors of Audiology, we welcome patients whose care was interrupted. We can help transfer your records, service hearing aids purchased elsewhere, and pick up right where your last provider left off.
We're under an hour from The Villages in downtown Clermont, and patients travel from over 40 states and 10 countries for our care.
"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.
We're located in historic downtown Clermont, under an hour's drive from most of The Villages. To put that in perspective, patients have traveled from 36 states and 9 countries to see our board-certified Doctors of Audiology. For many of our Villages patients, the drive is a small trade for care that follows best practice protocols at every visit.
Yes. We welcome patients whose previous provider has closed or changed hands, and we can help you request your hearing records so your care continues without starting from scratch. As a family-owned, independent practice, we have no manufacturer ties or corporate ownership, so the audiologist you see today will be the one who knows your history at your next visit.
In most cases, yes. We work with most major hearing aid manufacturers and can often clean, repair, and reprogram devices purchased from another provider. We also verify every fitting with Real Ear Measurements, a gold-standard test that confirms your hearing aids are actually delivering the prescription your hearing loss requires. Call us with your make and model and we'll confirm what we can do.
Tinnitus care is one of our specialties. We're among the first Modern Tinnitus Specialty Centers in Florida, offering the FDA-approved Lenire device, digital therapeutics, specialized hearing aids, and personalized treatment plans. Many Villages residents make the drive specifically for tinnitus treatment they can't find closer to home.
Yes, we're currently welcoming new patients from The Villages and surrounding communities like Lady Lake, Summerfield, and Leesburg. Call 352-989-5123 to schedule your first appointment, and let us know your previous provider closed so we can help make the transition smooth.
