Ha-Yoon Jae, Au.D., M.Cl.Sc.
Doctor of Audiology (Reg. CASLPO)
Audiologist-Delivered CBT and Mindfulness Support
for Tinnitus, Hyperacusis, and Misophonia
I am a Doctor of Audiology and CASLPO-registered audiologist with a focused interest in tinnitus, hyperacusis, and misophonia. Through Fine-Tuning Tinnitus Clinic, I provide online care across Canada for adults who feel overwhelmed by persistent ringing, sound sensitivity, or sound-triggered distress.
My goal is to offer care that is evidence-based, practical, and personalized. I combine audiological expertise with CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and tinnitus-focused counselling to help patients better understand their symptoms, reduce distress, and regain a greater sense of stability in daily life.
I hold a Doctor of Audiology (Au.D.) degree from the Arizona School of Health Sciences in the United States. I also earned my Master’s in Clinical Science in Audiology (M.Cl.Sc.) and Bachelor of Science in Honors Biology (HONS. B.Sc.) from Western University in Canada. I am a licensed audiologist with the College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario (CASLPO), and a member of the Canadian Academy of Audiology (CAA) and Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (SAC).
My professional training includes advanced education in tinnitus and hyperacusis through the Master Therapy Class for Tinnitus and Hyperacusis Specialist Training by Dr. Hashir at The Royal Surrey County Hospital in the United Kingdom. I have also completed Levels I and II of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) under Dr. Jastreboff’s guidance. In addition, I hold certifications in Mindfulness Levels I and II and have completed an intensive Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program.
Before entering audiology, I served as a Sergeant Medic in the Army. That experience shaped the way I work today: with calm, discipline, and respect for the human side of suffering. Outside of clinical work, I have practiced Kendo for over 30 years as both a student and instructor. That long-term discipline continues to shape my approach to focus, resilience, and steady progress.
