The ENT surgeon will take a complete history and physical examination of the head and neck including the various nerves in the area.
See an ENT specialist to determine the actual cause of your tinnitus.
A hearing test (audiogram) will be performed. Depending on the symptoms and examination as well as the type of tinnitus, other investigations may be needed. These can include either a special audiogram known as an auditory brainstem response (ABR), a brain scan such as a computerised tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
