From the ear to the brain
Tinnitus is a condition where one hears or perceives a sound without any external sound stimulus, it is commonly experienced as a high pitched ringing or buzzing. As tinnitus is experienced as a phantom sound it was initially thought to arise from the ear, however, recent research has shown that perception and generation are often linked to specific brain regions.
A recent publication in the journal Ear and Hearing suggested that the number of people newly diagnosed with tinnitus had increased between 2002 and 2011 [1], making the search for an effective therapy ever more important. However, the fundamental pathophysiology of the condition is still not fully understood and this has impeded the development of effective treatments.
