Hearing Test For Tinnitus

If you’ve ever noticed a ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears that no one else seems to hear, you’ll know how distracting it can be. That’s tinnitus. Some people describe it as high-pitched tones, others say it’s more like whooshing or even pulsing sounds. Whatever the case, it can be frustrating, and for some, it makes daily life a real challenge. The first step to managing it? A proper hearing test for tinnitus.

A test won’t magically make the ringing disappear, but it helps uncover the possible causes of tinnitus and gives you a clear picture of your hearing health. From there, you can explore treatment options that make things easier to cope with.

Why a Hearing Test Matters

Tinnitus is often linked with hearing loss, particularly age related hearing loss or noise induced damage from years of exposure to loud sounds. Sometimes it’s caused by issues in the inner ear or middle ear, and other times it can be a side effect of certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Even thyroid disorders or high blood pressure can play a role in causing tinnitus.

Because the possible causes are so varied, an audiologist will want to run through your medical history, ask about your symptoms of tinnitus, and carry out a proper series of tests. These might include listening checks, imaging tests like MRI scans, and sometimes referral to a throat doctor or ENT if there’s a structural problem.

What Happens During the Test

It’s not scary, and it’s not painful. A typical tinnitus assessment includes:

  • Discussion – You’ll talk about your tinnitus symptoms, how long they’ve been around, and whether it’s in one or both ears. Some people notice it in just one ear, while others feel it in both.

  • Ear check – We’ll look inside the ear canal to rule out wax build-up or infection.

  • Conduct a comprehensive hearing test - using advanced equipment to check your range of hearing.

  • Explaining test results – The audiologist will go through the findings clearly, answering questions and suggesting next steps.

If anything unusual turns up, the doctor may recommend further imaging tests or refer you to a medical expert to determine if there’s an underlying condition.

Understanding Tinnitus Symptoms

Not everyone experiences tinnitus in the same way. Some people hear high-pitched ringing, others experience pulsatile tinnitus, where the sound matches the blood flow in the vessels near the ear. There’s also objective tinnitus, which can sometimes be detected by a doctor using special equipment.

The severity can vary too. For some, it’s a mild annoyance that only appears when the room is quiet. For others, tinnitus gets worse at night, making it hard to sleep. And stress, fatigue, or loud noise can often make tinnitus worse.

At Hear Pure, we specialise in helping people with both hearing loss and tinnitus. Our expert audiologists don’t just run the tests; they take time to explain the results, answer questions, and talk through practical ways of treating tinnitus. We know how disruptive tinnitus can be, and our approach is about making you feel supported, not rushed.

We’ll also work with your doctor if further checks are needed, whether that’s MRI scans, checking for thyroid disorders, or ruling out other medical conditions.

Treatment and Support

There’s no single cure, but there are several ways to make tinnitus easier to live with. Options may include:

  • Hearing aids – If tinnitus is linked to hearing loss, modern aids can amplify external sounds, which helps mask the tinnitus sounds.

  • Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) – This combines counselling with sound therapy, using gentle background sounds or white noise to retrain the brain’s response.

  • Sound therapy – From soft music at night to special apps that play calming tones, it can reduce how noticeable tinnitus is.

  • Medication – While no pill “cures” tinnitus, certain antibiotics or other drugs can sometimes make it worse, so reviewing your medication list with a doctor is important.

  • Learning coping techniques – Simple strategies like relaxation exercises, mindfulness, and sleep hygiene can ease the impact.

  • Advanced options – In rare cases, research is looking at deep brain stimulation or transcranial magnetic stimulation, though these are not everyday treatments.

An audiologist will guide you towards the right path, depending on your test results and the possible causes of tinnitus.
