Initial Ear & Hearing Assessment
in Ottawa & Kanata

Tinnitus Assessment & Management

Tinnitus is often connected to hearing changes, earwax, middle-ear concerns, noise exposure, stress, or other medical factors. For this reason, all tinnitus appointments begin with an Ear & Hearing Assessment to evaluate your ear health, hearing levels, and middle-ear function.

When tinnitus is present, a Tinnitus Assessment & Management component may be added to your visit for an additional $100. This includes a tinnitus-focused review, counselling, education, management strategies, and personalized recommendations based on your results.

A complete clinical starting point for blocked ears, hearing changes, tinnitus, ear pressure, earwax concerns, and communication difficulties.

At Ottawa Hears Audiology, your first visit is more than a basic hearing test. Your assessment begins with a review of your symptoms, ear health, hearing history, and communication concerns. We examine your ears, assess your hearing, check middle-ear & inner-ear function and auditory pathways, and provide personalized recommendations based on your results.

This appointment helps determine whether your symptoms are related to earwax, hearing loss, middle-ear pressure, noise exposure, or another concern that may require further audiological or medical follow-up.

Audiological Report & Medical Recommendations

When clinically warranted, our audiologist may provide a detailed audiological report for your physician, including findings and recommendations for next steps. This may include a recommendation to follow up with an Ear, Nose and Throat physician, neurologist, or another medical specialist. If the audiological findings suggest that further medical investigation may be needed, we may recommend that you discuss diagnostic imaging, such as MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, or other testing, with your physician.
