The tinnitus can be functionally measured and localized through sensorymotor and neurosensorial tests. According to our Data Bank, 60% of the patients requiring a consultation show cardiocirculatory background. This figure has moved us to study cerebral vascular processes on those patients consulting only on tinnitus symptom.

Tinnitus as a symptom remains a serious multidisciplinary problem. Vertigo or dizziness is not noticed frequently in tinnitus patients, so vestibular function is not often studied.

During the last half century, medical developments have expedited an increase of expectation of life, all over the world. This extension of life has made that some pathologies that in former years were considered of low prevalence, nowadays they have become top priority for public health.

Cochlear implantation has been performed for 16 years by investigators at Semmelweis University. During this period, different types of cochlear implants have been used and, in 30% of cases, hearing was observed to be restored in the nonimplanted ear.

In this study, we investigated the results of intratympanic dexamethasone infusion for treatment of subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT). Its etiopathogenesis is uncertain and frequently its origin can be connected with cochlear latent disorders, cito-neural disfunctions and sometimes central nervous system diseases. To recognize the origin of (SIT) every patient was studied by means of common […]

L’Impianto cocleare che ha nei sordi postverbali e nei bambini impiantati precocemente i suoi candidati ideali, deve oggi confrontarsi con un’altra categoria di pazienti, sicuramente più difficili, come gli adolescenti sordi preverbali. Per questi ultimi, la terapia riabilitativa e le performances che si possono ottenere hanno una vasta variabilità sia sotto l’aspetto quantitativo che qualitativo […]

We summarize our clinical experience with intratympanic dexamethasone treatment (IDT) for control of tinnitus. From March 2000 through February 2001, 54 patients (23 females, 31males; mean age 49,6±7,2 yy; range 24-71 yy) suffering from subjective idiopathic tinnitus (SIT) have been observed. After that the common audiological tests had been performed, all the patients underwent to […]

The Authors present results of tinnitus therapy in 5 ENT clinics and 1 neurological clinic in the Czech republic during last 5 years. Mostly are using these therapeutic methods: vasoactive drugs, Betaserc, nootropics, preparations of Ginkgo Biloba, combine preparation – Arlevert, corticoids, anestesia of ggl. Stellati and rehabilatation methods. The best results were obtained by […]

Different pathology of the hearing has to be rehabilitated by individual and sophisticated hearing systems. A lot of the patients suffering from a mild or middle sensoneural hearing loss have problems with their conventional hearing aids. The medical and audiological problems can often not be solved sufficiently by the technical possibilities. Also the cosmetic solutions […]

It’s well known that the accurate localization of the source where subjective tinnitus comes from is very difficult. The anamnesis and the traditional audiological tests can often suggest if its origin is peripheral and/or central only. Therefore several Authors, as Risey, Denk and Shulman, have recently proposed picking out the source of subjective tinnitus through […]
