Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or roaring sounds in one or both ears.

- Tinnitus accompanied by hearing loss, dizziness, or ear pain.
- Tinnitus following exposure to loud noise, head injury, or certain medications.

How to prepare
- Prepare a detailed history of your symptoms, including onset, nature of sound, and triggers.
- List all current medications, supplements, and vitamins, as some can cause tinnitus.
- Note any history of noise exposure, ear infections, or head/neck injuries.
- Be prepared to discuss how tinnitus affects your sleep, work, and emotional well-being.
- No specific fasting or physical preparation is required for the initial diagnostic consultation and tests.
Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic tests are generally low-risk; audiometry and imaging have minimal to no side effects.
- Potential for anxiety or stress if a serious underlying condition is discovered.
- Some treatments (like certain medications) may have their own side effects, which your ENT will discuss.
- There is a risk that the exact cause may not be identified (idiopathic tinnitus).
- Management may require a trial-and-error approach to find the most effective therapy.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is not applicable in a surgical sense, as this is primarily a diagnostic and management process.
- Post-consultation, patients implement the recommended management plan, such as using sound generators or attending therapy.
- Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor progress and adjust the treatment strategy.
- Learning coping strategies and habituating to the sound is a key part of the long-term process.
- Protecting hearing from further loud noise exposure is essential to prevent worsening.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Muthusamy just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. Walked out feeling silly for being so nervous, but mostly just relieved.
