Tinnitus Evaluations

50 Million Americans Suffer From Tinnitus

If you’re one of them, get evaluated. 

Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sounds that are inaudible to others, and often accompanies hearing loss. Tinnitus may vary in pitch (buzzing, ringing, hissing), volume, and may be constant or periodic.

During the tinnitus evaluation, we will complete the diagnostic tests of otoscopy, immittance, otoacoustic emissions, audiometry and speech audiometry. In addition to matching the pitch and loudness of the tinnitus, and determine a level of noise where you can no longer hear the tinnitus. We will administer tinnitus handicap questionnaires to assess the effect of tinnitus on your daily life. The results from the tinnitus evaluation are used to discuss tinnitus coping strategies and to identify need for a tinnitus therapy program.
