Therapy for the treatment of tinnitus

The research proposes a therapeutic solution to the auditory disorder called tinnitus by generating noise associated with an electromedical device. Tinnitus is a common but poorly understood disorder that has a strong association with aging. Although tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, in many cases the origin may be central. Multiple treatment options may help in the management of this chronic condition. The role of the cochlea in tinnitus is considered, and in particular the concept of discordant damage between inner and outer hair cells is described.
