Abstract：Tinnitus is a common otologic complaint and can severely affect quality of life in some patients. Appropri-ate diagnosis and evaluation of tinnitus can impact treatment outcomes. Tinnitus diagnosis involves determination of etiolo-gy, tinnitus testing, evaluation of tinnitus severity and identifying other factors that may contribute to tinnitus. Identification of the cause of tinnitus is first step. Comprehensive tinnitus evaluation includes a thorough history and physical examina-tion, timely hearing and tinnitus tests, appropriate laboratory and imaging studies, and use of tinnitus evaluation and other questionnaires when indicated. In addition to tinnitus and the auditory system, identifying systemic disorders that may con-tribute to tinnitus and consulting relevant specialists are also important steps in tinnitus evaluation.
