Tinnitus is a condition characterized by hearing hissing, ringing, whistling, buzzing, chirping or other sounds in the absence of any external sound. It may affect one or both the ears. The level of the noise can vary and it can be either constant or intermittent. There are commonly two types of tinnitus, categorized into objective tinnitus and subjective tinnitus. The sound of tinnitus experienced by people is frequently linked to hearing loss. It is also linked to changes in neural synchrony, neuronal transfer functions and tonotopic organization, as well as changes in neuronal hypoactivity or hyperactivity. The diagnosis of tinnitus is typically based on the individual's description. It can also be diagnosed through an audiogram, otolaryngological examination and neurological examination. Tinnitus is mainly treated with talk therapy, hearing aids and sound therapy. This book provides comprehensive insights into the neuroscience of tinnitus. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the medical condition.
