Abstract

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is the perception of sound in the absence of an auditory stimulus. Tinnitus is perceived by about one in 10 adults, and for at least 1 in 100 tinnitus severely affects their quality of life. Objective is to present a review of pathophysiology and treatment approaches for the patients with tinnitus. Currently available options range from medications to the cognitive behavioral rehabilitation and the use of hearing aids. The review provides the overview of the approaches to tinnitus patients, based on national experience and national and international guidelines.
