Common questions
Is this a medical test?
No. This check is not a diagnosis and not a medical test. Only an evaluation by an audiologist or doctor can tell what is behind your tinnitus. If your result is moderate or higher, we suggest an evaluation with an audiologist.
What are the warning signs at the start?
Tinnitus in one ear only, a sound that pulses with your heartbeat, sudden tinnitus with sudden hearing loss, or dizziness, face weakness or numbness should be looked at promptly. If any of these fit you, we tell you what to do first.
Is there a cure for tinnitus?
There is no single cure for most tinnitus. Most people can still make it much less intrusive with a clear evaluation and a plan. Our Tinnitus Guide explains the options.
