Das subjektive Ohrgeraeusch / Tinnitus/ ist eine oft getroffene Erscheinung und wird unregelmäßig bei allen Individen beobachtet. Es ist logisch, besonders wenn es einseitig ist, die Ursache für das Geräusch bei der Otosklerose nämlich in den pathogenetischen Mechanismen der Erkrankung zu suchen. Diese Arbeit präsentiert unsere klinische Beobachtungen auf das Ohrgeräusch bei chirurgisch bestätigten Fällen […]
