Tinnitus (noises in your ear) can be quite bothersome to your daily routine. Having a tinnitus evaluation can help to create the most effective treatment for your tinnitus relief. At Gardner Audiology in Citrus Park, Tampa, South Pasadena, and Palm Harbor, Florida, our Doctors of Audiology can evaluate your tinnitus and get you on your way to tinnitus relief!
So what happens during a tinnitus evaluation? First, we will evaluate your hearing, to assess the amount of, if any, hearing loss you have. Next, we will determine the pitch of your tinnitus. More often than not, it is higher pitched, and usually in the same range that you have hearing loss. We will also determine the loudness of your tinnitus. Once these are both determined, we will play a sound for one minute – we want to see if your tinnitus will decrease in the presence of external noise, and how long it will take for your tinnitus to return to its “normal”.
This can all be used help to fine tune a masker sound that can distract you from your tinnitus. If you are interested in a tinnitus evaluation with one of our Doctors of Audiology, please contact Gardner Audiology at 1-800-277-1182 or email info@gardneraudiology.com for more information.
