Our top team of audiologists is equipped with many tools and strategies to help patients with tinnitus, but first we need to assess your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/holladayhearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iStock-183062137-2048x1365.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-307\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holladayhearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iStock-183062137.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/holladayhearing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/iStock-183062137-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Expect During a Tinnitus Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several goals we hope to accomplish when we evaluate a tinnitus patient:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Identify the underlying cause of your tinnitus symptoms.<\/li><li>Determine if your tinnitus is subjective or objective.<\/li><li>Evaluate how your tinnitus is affecting your speech reception.<\/li><li>Assess whether you\u2019re experiencing hyperacusis (sound sensitivity).<\/li><li>Pinpoint the frequency and loudness of the sound you\u2019re hearing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tinnitus is a symptom of a wide range of health conditions, and it can occasionally point to a more serious problem that needs professional medical attention. This is why trying to identify a cause is important, even though it may not be possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subjective tinnitus \u2013 meaning tinnitus only you can hear \u2013 is much more common and is often caused by ototoxic medications or one of many audiological, neurological, metabolic and psychological conditions. Objective tinnitus is much rarer and is often tied to underlying vascular or neurological problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we can determine a diagnosis and address the condition causing your tinnitus, we may also be able to treat that condition and relieve your symptoms. If we can\u2019t identify a specific cause of your tinnitus, we will recommend other treatment options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a tinnitus evaluation, an audiologist will administer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>An in-depth written and verbal interview.<\/li><li>A complete physical examination of your auditory system.<\/li><li>A pure tone and ultra-high frequency audiometry test.<\/li><li>Speech reception and word recognition tests.<\/li><li>An otoacoustic emissions test.<\/li><li>Additional tests, studies and evaluations.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Audiology Associates of Holladay<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+18012721232\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(801) 272-1232<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tinnitus can manifest as an acute symptom lasting just a few days, or a chronic or recurring symptom lasting weeks, months or years.
