Tinnitus & Decreased Sound Tolerance Ottawa

Our approach goes beyond a standard hearing test. Tinnitus and sound intolerance are often influenced by more than just the auditory system, and our assessment looks at the full picture. In addition to evaluating the auditory system, we also screen for sensory factors that may contribute to increased sound sensitivity. Some tinnitus is influenced by muscle and nerve input from other parts of the body. We also perform a physical examination of the jaw and neck to check for somatosensory tinnitus.
