During

The HCP will do a full hearing test with you, which includes a full examination of the physical ear, testing hearing sensitivity, and the ability to hear speech.

Why a hearing test and not a tinnitus test? About 70 – 90% of those with tinnitus also have hearing loss (depending on where in the world you are), so it is standard to first assess whether a hearing loss is present and thus the likely cause of your tinnitus.

End

The HCP will discuss your hearing test results with you and how they may/may not be related to your tinnitus. They will also discuss what the next steps look like – either treating a hearing loss, starting a tinnitus management program or perhaps seeing another medical professional.

After

If there is a hearing loss to be treated, you will have the choice of obtaining hearing aids. With or without hearing aids, the HCP will develop a tinnitus management program for you. Lastly, if any further testing is necessary, the HCP may refer you to another medical professional.
