Diagnosis of Tinnitus
Referral by your GP to an otolaryngologist (a specialist doctor for ear disorders) at an ear, nose and throat (ENT) department is often necessary to rule out any underlying cause and to accurately diagnose tinnitus. Your medical history will be looked at, and a number of tests may be carried out, including x-ray of the ear, balance testing, blood test, hearing test, and sometimes a CT (computerised tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan.
