Assessment of Tinnitus

Pitch Matching

This is the first step in the assessment process; in this patient has to match the tinnitus pitch to the external pitch generated through the Audiometer by an ASLP to quantify the tinnitus in terms of Possible frequency in Hertz (pitch)

Intensity Matching

This is the second step in the assessment process; in this patient has to match the tinnitus intensity to the external intensity generated through the Audiometer by an ASLP to quantify the tinnitus in terms of intensity measured in dBHL

Residual Inhibition Test

This will help in finding whether the Tinnitus masker would be helpful in the patient perceiving Tinnitus or not. Also, this helps in determining the outcomes of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy.
