Online Tinnitus Quiz

Tinnitus sounds different to everyone. It can be high or low, loud or quiet, ever-present or infrequent. And it has many possible triggers, such as damage to the ear, medications or jaw problems.

Many people with tinnitus feel that it reduces their quality of life. And in many cases tinnitus is accompanied by hearing loss.

For some, tinnitus goes away on its own. For others, it’s permanent and you have to find ways to manage its impact on daily life.

Because each person experiences tinnitus so differently, it’s important to find professional help to discover the course of action that’s best for you.

This tinnitus test is therefore is not a definitive answer or the final step in your journey managing tinnitus. Hopefully it provides you some useful insight into your experience with tinnitus and perhaps help you progress in your decision making on the next steps to take.
