Initially, Dr. Pasha will assess you to see if you have a known medical condition that may cause noise in your ears. He will check your ears to see if you have an infection or anything else that may cause tinnitus. After your exam, Dr. Pasha commonly orders an audiogram or hearing test to see if you have a hearing loss. Many people have a hearing loss especially in the high frequencies (high pitches) without being aware of their loss. In some cases, Dr. Pasha may ask for a MRI or CAT scan to rule out other potential causes of tinnitus.
