The aim of the study was to examine relationship between tinnitus pitch and maximum hearing loss, frequency range edge audiogram, as well as, analyze loudness at normal frequency. The included 212 patients, aged 21 75 years (mean age 54.4 ±13.5 years) with chronic subjective sensorineural loss. For statistical data analysis we used Chi-square test Fisher’s exact level significance p < 0.05. ...

Tinnitus, or phantom sound perception, leads to increased spontaneous neural firing rates and enhanced synchrony in central auditory circuits in animal models. These putative physiologic correlates of tinnitus to date have not been well translated in the brain of the human tinnitus sufferer. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) we recently showed that tinnitus in humans leads to ...
