Multidimensional assessment is crucial in treatment. It helps to understand the etiology of tinnitus. Communicating and explaining these results to the patient is the first step in treatment.

We use an evaluation protocol similar to that approved by the Tinnitus Research Initiative ( TRI ). It is therefore necessary to allow approximately 3 hours for the initial evaluation.

The first step is a complete examination by an audiologist (ear specialist) who will test with state-of-the-art equipment to measure and find the possible cause(s) of the tinnitus. Following this assessment, the team will decide to propose a personalized treatment plan to the patient.

Before making an appointment, be sure to bring, if possible, hearing tests, lab reports, X-rays, pathology slides and your most recent diagnostic tests. Bring them with you to your first appointment. Remember to bring a list of all past and current medications.

Avoid exposing yourself to loud noises for a prolonged period of 16 hours prior to the appointment.
