A Controversial Issue Special Issue: ORL 2006, Vol. 68, No. 1.
Full Description
There are various theories regarding the source of tinnitus. Different therapeutic concepts which are based on these theories have gained popularity throughout the last years and are applied worldwide, some with an obvious benefit for the patient. But is this sufficient to proof the physiological basis of the concept? In this controversial issue the most popular theories are critically discussed. Renowned experts were invited to contribute, and the manuscripts were then submitted to the other invited authors for comment. The commentaries are published along with the original contribution. Hoping to open an exciting and inspiring debate the editors expect that readers will contribute as well and that additional comments will come forward. They will be published in the next issue of ORL.
