Will a Hearing Test Spike My Tinnitus?

I have tinnitus & hyperacusis due to acoustic exposure.
The high frequency of my right ear is partially damaged.
I am considering to have a hearing aid to reduce my tinnitus & hopefully, my hyperacusis.
But, I need to have a hearing test before it can happen.

I worry that the hearing test may spike my tinnitus?
I need advice here. Thanks!

 

You should be fine ...

In short, no. The whole idea is that they play sounds ranging from imperceptible to barely perceptible and record when you trigger a response. There is something called the LDL test (loudness discomfort level) which you might want to give a miss if you’re nervous about loud sounds. That’s if they offer it you of course which they likely won’t.

 

Thank you all.
