If your tinnitus feels out of control, your brain may be the reason.
Tinnitus starts in the hearing system, but what makes it loud and intrusive is something different—a brain process that is treatable.
If you're ready to find out what's driving your tinnitus, the first step is taking our assessment.
NeuroMed’s Tinnitus Severity Assessment™ is based on validated clinical tools used to identify brain-based tinnitus. It shows you the impact of your tinnitus and the reasons why it is loud and out of control.
Why Your Brain Keeps Turning Up the Volume
Several brain regions are affected by loud tinnitus. It’s not just the sound—it’s how your brain reacts to it.
Here's how it works…
1️⃣ Brain Inflammation and Brain Sensitivity
Low-grade inflammation makes your brain hypersensitive—so the tinnitus sound gets amplified, even if the original signal is faint.
2️⃣ Fight-or-Flight Activation
That amplified sound triggers your brain’s alarm system—turning tinnitus into something urgent, emotional, and impossible to tune out.
3️⃣ Attention Lock-in From Brain Rewiring
The fight-or-flight response causes your brain to prioritize tinnitus, pushing it to the front of your awareness. That’s why you can’t “just ignore it.”
What You’ll Learn From the Assessment
This isn’t just a tinnitus quiz. It’s your chance to discover what’s actually causing it.
What you’ll walk away with:
✅ A clearer understanding of what is driving your tinnitus
✅ Insight into how it’s affecting key functional areas of your life
✅ A deeper understanding of what your brain really needs to heal
Want to know what's causing your loud tinnitus? Here's your chance to take control.

Creator of the NeuroMed Tinnitus Rehabilitation Program and Tinnitus Severity Assessment™
Dr. Hamid Djalilian
Dr. Djalilian is an internationally recognized expert with more than 20 years of experience in the treatment of tinnitus and brain sensitivity disorders and is currently the Chief Medical Advisor for NeuroMed Tinnitus Clinic.
Renowned for his tinnitus expertise and groundbreaking clinical protocols to treat tinnitus, Dr. Djalilian led his team at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to a fundamental discovery:
Tinnitus is a brain sensitivity problem, not just an ear problem.
This discovery ushered in the development of an all-new protocol for the treatment of tinnitus, validated by formal clinical trials at UCI and bringing relief to close to 90% of those who’ve completed it. By developing this treatment, patients who had been brushed off by other medical experts were finally finding relief.
Based on this research, Dr. Djalilian and his team developed the Tinnitus Severity Assessment™ to reveal the impact tinnitus has on the daily lives of tinnitus sufferers, assess how to best help them find relief, and prepare them to commit to their recovery.

About NeuroMed
We are one of the nation's leading tinnitus clinics and our program offers the most comprehensive approach to treating tinnitus available. After 20 years of tinnitus research, Dr. Djalilian has discovered the reason tinnitus becomes loud and bothersome in people. Treating this process leads to significant improvement of the tinnitus to a point where it is not noticeable during the day. This requires a multi-modal approach to therapy using a rehabilitation model of care via telehealth.
No! There has been tremendous progress in research on tinnitus in the last few years. We now understand that tinnitus becomes loud and bothersome due to processes in the brain. Dr. Djalilian has identified those causes and has been successfully treating tinnitus with this new treatment regimen. On average, it takes 17 years from the time a new treatment is discovered until it is practiced by 50% of physicians. Fortunately, you are finding out about this in the early stages.
