Tinnitus is when someone hears sounds like buzzing, ringing, or hissing that other people cannot hear. There are many reasons people can develop tinnitus. A tinnitus management appointment includes a hearing evaluation followed by a consultation. You and your provider will discuss the hearing evaluation results, your general health, aggravating tinnitus factors, and known management strategies. By the end of the appointment, you will have some tools and strategies to try. Follow-ups may be appropriate to check for improvement and/or change strategy.
