The prevalence of hearing problems in the Western world has, due to aging of the
population, doubled over the past 30 years. Thereby, noise-induced hearing loss is an …

The neuroscience of tinnitus represents an ideal model to explore central issues in brain
functioning such as the formation of auditory percepts, in addition to opening up new …

Neural mechanisms that detect changes in the auditory environment appear to rely on
processes that predict sensory state. Here we propose that in tinnitus there is a disparity …

The functional organization of cortical and subcortical networks can be altered by sensory
experience. Sensory deprivation destabilizes neural networks resulting in increased …

Purpose Known association between tinnitus and psychological distress prompted us to
examine patients with chronic tinnitus by using the Composite International Diagnostic …

Purpose To determine the prevalence and severity of psychological comorbidity in patients
with chronic tinnitus in comparison with other chronic illnesses, namely chronic pain, chronic …

The diagnosis of tinnitus relies on self-report. Psychoacoustic measurements of tinnitus pitch
and loudness are essential for assessing claims and discriminating true from false ones. For …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize tinnitus in middle aged and elderly out-
patients attending a specialized clinic in a developing country. METHODS: A cross sectional …

AbstractIntroduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the inter tester and intra
tester reliability of 5 static and 3 dynamic palpation tests, and three pain provocation tests …

Some forms of tinnitus are likely to be perceptual consequences of altered neural activity in
the central auditory system triggered by damage to the auditory periphery. Animal studies …
