Tinnitus Evaluation at NS Medical Center – Expert Diagnosis for Persistent Ear Ringing

At NS Medical Center, we provide specialized tinnitus evaluation and management for individuals experiencing persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears. Tinnitus is not a condition by itself but a symptom of an underlying issue—such as hearing loss, ear injury, or circulatory problems. Our expert ENT doctors and audiologists use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify the cause and offer effective solutions to manage or reduce tinnitus.

Tinnitus can be temporary or chronic and may affect one or both ears. It can interfere with concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Accurate evaluation is the first step toward relief.

Common Causes of Tinnitus:

• Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis)

• Prolonged exposure to loud noise

• Earwax buildup

• Middle or inner ear infections

• Otosclerosis (stiffening of middle ear bones)

• Head or neck injuries

• Side effects of certain medications

• Anxiety, stress, or high blood pressure

Symptoms May Include:

• Ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring in the ear(s)

• Intermittent or constant sounds

• Sounds may vary in pitch and volume

• Sleep disturbance or difficulty concentrating

• Sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis)

Our Tinnitus Evaluation Process:

1. Detailed ENT Consultation: Review of symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history

2. Otoscopy: Examination of the ear canal and eardrum for any visible abnormalities or wax buildup

3. Pure Tone Audiometry: Hearing test to detect underlying hearing loss

4. Tympanometry & Acoustic Reflex Tests: Assess middle ear function

5. Tinnitus Matching & Masking Tests: Helps to identify the pitch and intensity of your tinnitus

6. Psychological Screening (if needed): Evaluates the impact of tinnitus on mental health

Treatment Options Post Evaluation:

• Sound Therapy: Use of low-level background noise or white noise to mask tinnitus

• Hearing Aids: Improve hearing clarity and reduce tinnitus perception in cases with hearing loss

• Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT): Combines sound therapy and counseling
