Preparing for your appointment
By Mayo Clinic staffThe first step to evaluating tinnitus is to have a hearing (audiological) exam.
Your doctor will want to know about your signs and symptoms. Your doctor will also want to know about any other health conditions you have, such as hearing loss, high blood pressure or clogged arteries (atherosclerosis). Be sure to tell your doctor about all medications you take, including herbal remedies.
After you've been diagnosed with tinnitus, you may need to see an ear, nose and throat doctor (otolaryngologist). You may also need to work with a hearing expert (audiologist).
