Tinnitus evaluations and treatment

Tinnitus is sound that one can hear that is not in the environment. It can be very distruptive and disturbing.

CDH has a comprehensive tinnitus program overseen by CDH physicians and audiologists.

Diagnostic evaluation

1. Patients see both an otoneurologist, such as Dr. Hain or Cherchi, as well as an audiologist -- Jeanne Perkins.

2. Hearing tests include tinnitus matching, high-frequency audiometry, sweep OAE, LDL measurement for hyperacusis, and Masking trials

3. Because CDH integrates together physician and audiology management, we can offer a full spectrum of treatments for tinnitus. 

• Device based trials ( masking),
• Medications for underlying ear disorders
• Medications to manage psychological consequences such as anxiety and depression. 
• Acupuncture treatment for tinnitus.
• CDH also offers a novel "band limited masking" protocol to produce masking stimuli that are matched to patient tinnitus.
