Diagnosis for Tinnitus
The diagnosis of tinnitus is made based on subjective complaints of the patient. As yet, there is no medical way to test for the existence of tinnitus. However, an audiologist can perform a tinnitus evaluation to determine the frequency level of the tinnitus as well as the masking potential.
