Infos

Tinnitus is one of the most common otologic conditions, with 50 million people complaining of tinnitus in 2020 in the US alone. Accepted as an individual's conscious perception of sound without external auditory stimuli that can result in a constant or fluctuating phantom ringing, buzzing or whooshing sound in the ears - if left untreated, tinnitus can lead to debilitating physical, mental and psychological problems. The condition results in hundreds of millions of dollars in healthcare expenditure each year. As the pathophysiology of tinnitus is not well understood, there is no medication for tinnitus approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); however, several therapeutic treatments have been found to be potentially beneficial for tinnitus.Edited and authored by an eminent group of tinnitus specialists from around the world, this concise volume summarises the new therapeutic approaches to the management of tinnitus, including dietary and lifestyle modifications, cognitive behavioral therapy, self-help and music therapy in tinnitus treatment. Discussions on the role of pharmacological and alternative therapies for tinnitus are also covered. In addition, three chapters are dedicated to non-invasive, invasive and bimodal neurostimulation. This book also addresses hearing aids and hyperacusis - a common associated condition with tinnitus. Finally, the book closes with three separate chapters on the treatment of pulsatile tinnitus, tinnitus in children, and stem cell therapy for tinnitus.This collection is a crucial reference for advanced students, researchers, clinicians and members of industry specializing in or adjacent to otolaryngology.
