Main Article Content
Tinnitus is a worldwide symptom, becoming a concern to the multidisciplinary team, especially to the audiologist due to its difficulty to diagnose. The objective of the investigation was to describe
the functions of the Colombian audiologist to determine Tinnitus. The methodology used was exploratory, through document review, surveys to audiologists and experts. The document
review was done at a national and international level which spanned across the most importanttopics such as definition, physiopathology, etiology, prevalence, and importance of the audiologist
in the process of evaluation. Seventy six Colombian audiologists responded to the survey and three specialists in the subject were interviewed. The results conclude there is a wide range
of information at an international level, but less at the national level about Tinnitus; regarding professional practice, certain evaluation processes were found which include the execution of
anamnesis, basic and advanced audiological tests, and impact of quality of life, the latter being the least implemented. According to the perspective of the experts, few audiologists focus on the
topic, and highlight the importance of training, protocol use and questionnaires that allow both the professional and user to make decisions to guide treatment.
Keywords: Tinnitus, audiologhy, audiological procedures, audiological evaluation.
