Abordarea audiologică a pacientului cu tinitus
2019
In most cases, tinnitus is subjective, being defined as solely the patient’s perception of involuntary sounds which do not have a real correspondent in the surrounding sound environment and are perceived in one of the ears or in the whole head. The impact of these sounds on the patient varies widely, from ignorance to despair and even suicide attempy. The management of the patient with tinnitus involves a detailed history, completed by self-assessment questionnaires of the impact of tinnitus, subjective and objective audiological tests, imagistic or neurological investigations. If the aetiology of tinnitus can be identified, the causal treatment for 1-3 months is the first intention treatment. In the absence of any benefit, drug therapy, cognitive therapy (TRT – Tinitus Retraining Therapy), prosthetic or psychological treatment may be recommended.
