How should I start the process?
The stage of investigating the causes of tinnitus can sometimes take a certain amount of time. In general, the following sequence is followed:
- The ENT doctor may request a tinnitus test.
- If the source causing the tinnitus is unclear, it may request investigations to determine the source.
- If treatment of tinnitus is not possible, you can visit a hearing center where Earnet products are represented for apparatus therapy.
- The process in the hearing center proceeds as follows: In Earnet Fitting, the frequency and volume of the resonance in the resonance module are determined.
- Tinnitus combined devices are recommended if tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss, and Tinnitus-TRT devices are recommended only if you have Tinnitus.
- Hearing loss and Tinnitus tests are performed.
- The appropriate device is selected and adapted.
- A periodic appointment schedule is applied.
Who should I consult?
Tinnitus is a symptom, not a disease. It is a kind of supplication of any disease that occurs in the body. The first person to be consulted is the ENT doctor.
The ENT physician may request medical investigations and examinations to determine the origin of the problem. If tinnitus is caused by the ear, it is more likely to be treated. If it is found to be brain-borne, therapy is needed.
Once the likelihood of treatment is determined, Earnet specialists, who are experts in their field, will begin therapy according to the character of Tinnitus. In general, the following sequence is followed:
- The frequencies and volume of tinnitus are determined.
- If necessary, a Tinnitus survey is conducted.
- Information about tinnitus therapy and its results.
- An appropriate Earnet device is selected and adapted.
- The date of the periodic checks is given.
