Tinnitus Evaluations

Tinnitus is a common condition that affects millions of people. While typically not a significant issue for most people, a small percentage experience significant distress from tinnitus. Audiology Solutions, PC offers comprehensive tinnitus evaluations to help determine the areas it is causing problems in the patient’s life and the severity of it. Once evaluated, patients are given effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs.

Tinnitus is characterized by hearing sounds that others cannot perceive, typically in the form of ringing, buzzing, whistling, or humming. These sounds can be heard in one or both ears and may fluctuate in volume. Common symptoms include difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, communication difficulties, and emotional distress, as the persistent noise can be overwhelming. Tinnitus may also be accompanied by hearing loss, dizziness, or sensitivity to sound.

Several factors can contribute to the development of tinnitus, including exposure to loud noises, ear infections, and age-related hearing loss. Other causes may include earwax buildup, head or neck injuries, and certain medications known to affect hearing. Risk factors such as prolonged exposure to loud environments, smoking, and cardiovascular issues can increase the likelihood of experiencing tinnitus. Understanding possible underlying causes is essential for determining the most effective treatment approach.

Tinnitus can be classified into two main types: subjective and objective. Subjective tinnitus is the most common form, where the sound is only heard by the person experiencing it. This type is often linked to auditory nerve damage or hearing loss. Objective tinnitus, on the other hand, is rare and involves noises generated by internal bodily functions, such as blood flow, which can be heard by both the affected individual and others. Identifying the type of tinnitus helps in guiding the treatment process.

Auditory Processing Evaluations

Utilizing the Buffalo model, a proven approach used for over 50 years, our evaluations combine questionnaires with a set of three tests to identify auditory processing deficits. The Buffalo model assesses hearing ability in quiet versus noisy environments, evaluates how both ears process sound simultaneously, and examines the ability to combine speech sounds to form words. This method allows us to complete evaluations more efficiently, typically requiring an average of two 45-minute appointments instead of a single three-hour+ session typically used by other clinics.
