Who Should You See First for Tinnitus?

If you've been told your tinnitus is "nothing to worry about" but you're still dealing with constant ringing, sleep disruption, or difficulty concentrating, this episode explains why that happens and what to do next.

Dr. Layne Garrett breaks down the roles of primary care providers, ENTs, and audiologists in tinnitus care, and why the traditional referral pathway often delays meaningful treatment. You'll learn when medical evaluation is necessary, including key red flags like pulsatile tinnitus, unilateral symptoms, or sudden hearing changes, and when a comprehensive audiologic evaluation is the most appropriate first step.

This episode also outlines what a real tinnitus assessment should include, from extended high-frequency testing to psychoacoustic measurements and individualized treatment planning. It highlights how hearing aids, sound therapy, and counseling approaches are used together to improve outcomes, especially when guided by objective measures like REM verification.

With over two decades of experience, Dr. Garrett provides a clear, medically grounded framework to help you move from uncertainty to a structured plan.
