Abstract

The hearing disturbances including tinnitus as a result of exposure to the sounds were well known and decribed in literaute (1,2,3). But on the other side it was repoted that sounds modificate the tinnitus probably through the auditory cortical plasticity (4,5).

For the first time we met Johannes Kohler in Prague, in October, 2000, during the Tinnitus Symposium organized by Prof. Ales Hahn. J. Kohler’s music called by him ”Klingende Medizin fur die Seele” was fascinating- romantic and soothing. Because previosuly, we tried to treat the tinnitus patients pharmacologically and with manual rehabilitation but a lot of them felt no improvement, so we decided to order this ” klingende Medizin”.
