Detailed Case History
Your tinnitus journey starts with a conversation. Dr. Yovina takes the time to understand your experience, from when you first noticed symptoms to how tinnitus affects your daily life. This in-depth discussion helps identify potential triggers and lays the foundation for a personalised approach to managing your tinnitus.
Video Otoscopy
A close look inside your ears can reveal important clues about your tinnitus. Using high-resolution video otoscopy, Dr. Yovina provides a clear view of your ear canal and eardrum, identifying any visible concerns such as wax buildup or abnormalities that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Tympanometry
Your middle ear health plays a crucial role in both hearing and tinnitus. Tympanometry is a gentle, pressure-based test that assesses eardrum mobility and detects potential issues like fluid buildup or middle ear dysfunction, which can sometimes be linked to tinnitus.
Pure Tone Audiometry
Hearing and tinnitus often go hand in hand. Pure tone audiometry precisely measures your hearing sensitivity across different frequencies, helping to determine whether any hearing loss may be contributing to your tinnitus perception.
Tinnitus Loudness and Pitch Matching
No two tinnitus experiences are the same. By carefully assessing the pitch and loudness of your tinnitus, Dr. Yovina can better understand its characteristics, which is essential in tailoring an effective management plan suited to your specific needs.
Tinnitus Handicap Inventory
Tinnitus is more than just a sound—it can impact your daily life, sleep, and emotional well-being. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory is a specialised questionnaire that helps assess how tinnitus affects you personally, guiding the best approach to support and relief.

There is currently no universal cure for tinnitus, but there are many effective management strategies. Depending on your assessment results, Dr. Yovina can recommend tailored solutions such as sound therapy, lifestyle adjustments, or referral to other specialists if necessary.
No, you do not need a referral. If you are experiencing tinnitus and would like a professional assessment, you can book a consultation directly with Dr. Yovina.
If hearing loss is contributing to your tinnitus, hearing aids may be a beneficial part of your management plan. By improving your overall hearing, they can help reduce the perception of tinnitus. Dr. Yovina will assess whether hearing aids or other treatments might be suitable for you.
