What Happens at a Tinnitus Assessment
During a tinnitus assessment, several steps may be involved to determine the nature and impact of the tinnitus a person is experiencing. Here’s what typically happens:
Medical History
Our healthcare provider will ask about your medical history, including any previous ear injuries, infections, exposure to loud noise, or other relevant medical conditions.
Symptom Evaluation
We will enquire about your tinnitus symptoms, including the perceived sound (ringing, buzzing, hissing, etc.), its intensity, frequency, and whether it’s present in one or both ears.

A physical examination of the ears, head, neck will be conducted to check for any visible signs or underlying conditions that could contribute to tinnitus.
Ear Examination
Hearing Test (Audiometry)
Since tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, audiometric tests may be conducted to assess your hearing sensitivity across different frequencies.
Tinnitus Matching
This involves using external sounds at various frequencies and intensities to try to match the pitch and loudness of the tinnitus sound you perceive. This helps in characterizing the tinnitus and understanding its impact on your hearing.
Tinnitus Fuctional Index
We will also go through the Tinnitus Functional Index and Tinnitus Handicap Index to assess how tinnitus affects your daily life, including its impact on sleep, concentration, and emotional well-being. This helps in developing a comprehensive treatment plan..
