Tinnitus Diagnosis & Management in Oman
Ringing, buzzing or hissing in the ears (tinnitus) is common and can usually be improved. Our audiologists assess the cause and build a personal management plan — we never promise a cure, but most people learn to cope far better.
Assessment
- Full hearing test — tinnitus and hearing loss are often linked.
- Tinnitus pitch and loudness matching.
- Identifying likely causes and triggers.
Management options
- Sound therapy and tinnitus-masking.
- Hearing aids with tinnitus features when hearing loss is present.
- Counselling and coping strategies.
When tinnitus is urgent
Sudden tinnitus with hearing loss, one-sided (unilateral) or pulsatile tinnitus should be checked promptly — book urgently or seek medical care.
Frequently asked questions
Is tinnitus curable?
There's rarely a simple cure, but assessment and management (sound therapy, hearing aids, coping strategies) help most people significantly.
Can hearing aids help tinnitus?
Yes — when hearing loss is present, hearing aids (often with built-in tinnitus features) reduce how noticeable the tinnitus is.
