Do I need to make an appointment?

icon icon
Yes, because this examination is a special outpatient procedure (fully self-funded) and requires an appointment.

 
icon icon

Is it invasive?

icon icon
It involves absolutely no invasive procedures, requires no injections or oral medications (or contrast agents), and no fasting is required. The test subject simply needs to be relaxed during the examination. Let's work together to find out the cause of your illness and work together to get rid of this troublesome disease.

How many times should I test?

icon icon
The test is only done once, so patients don't need to worry about not getting a positive result. After all, the body doesn't give signals for no reason; there must be something wrong, and every problem has a cause. Finally, we need to integrate all the causes and work together to develop a treatment strategy to address each issue individually.

Does health insurance cover this?

icon icon
We apologize! This is not covered by National Health Insurance, and our hospital has no National Health Insurance contract. Based on our report to the Kaohsiung City Government Health Bureau and the "Reference Principles for the Approval of Medical Expense Fee Standards," this test, starting from January 1, 2025, suggests a self-payment of NTD 172,535.

Why undergo tinnitus assessment?

icon icon
A correct diagnosis is essential for developing an accurate treatment strategy; otherwise, treatment will be based solely on the doctor's personal experience or hearsay, resulting in haphazard and ineffective treatment. Please remember that the purpose of this examination is treatment; strictly speaking, it is an examination arranged for the purpose of "developing a treatment strategy," not a general health check or hearing test. This test is only recommended for patients who wish to treat tinnitus.

Does tinnitus disappear immediately after a tinnitus assessment?

icon icon
Of course not. The measurement is only for diagnosis, breaking down the complex sounds of tinnitus to understand:

What does your tinnitus sound like?
How many sounds are there?
Where does each sound come from?
What's happening there?
Do you actually have brain tinnitus?
What kind of brain tinnitus is it?

What is tinnitus assessment?

icon icon
The full name should be "Revised Baronie's Tinnitus Measurement and Analysis Technique", commonly known as "Tinnitus Decoding Technique".

What are the different types of tinnitus?

icon icon
Tinnitus is classified into two types: simple tinnitus and complex tinnitus. Complex tinnitus is caused by multiple underlying conditions, with sounds mixed together, alternating, rising and falling, and echoing each other. Tinnitus that lasts for months or years is almost always complex tinnitus. Tinnitus that disappears after only a few weeks or days is mostly simple tinnitus.

Tinnitus is just a sound, is it really that hard to diagnose?

icon icon
Tinnitus not only troubles patients, but also doctors. Most doctors are afraid to treat tinnitus because diagnosis is really difficult. After all, there are too many causes of tinnitus, and each cause contributes a little bit of "sound". These sounds are not only very similar, but also mixed together, making it intricate and complicated.

Is there really no cure for tinnitus?

icon icon
Tinnitus isn't incurable, it's just very difficult to treat! The root cause lies in the difficulty of diagnosis!

When patients seek medical attention, they can only describe the illusory "sound" sensation to the doctor. Frankly, 100% of the people around them have no idea what the patient is saying. Since it's invisible, intangible, and odorless, diagnosis becomes even more challenging.
