Synopsis
Distinguished contributors at the frontiers of tinnitus research report on their work in this timely volume.

This is the first book to bring together the latest findings in the search for a mechanism or mechanisms underlying tinnitus. Topics covered include neural activity, tinnitus in hearing-impaired children, tinnitus as a phantom perception, spectral analysis of brain activity, and recently proposed models of tinnitus.
