Abstract
Chronic tinnitus is a common symptom of the auditory system. Its pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, primarily due to its multifactorial etiology, which resembles that of other chronic conditions. As a result, effective clinical management requires interdisciplinary diagnostics and personalized therapeutic strategies. A search in PubMed using the keyword "tinnitus" covering the period from September 2023 to September 2024 yielded 1079 publications, of which the most relevant were selected and analyzed for this review summarizing current knowledge. Recent advances in tinnitus research have further refined our understanding of its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment. Tinnitus is frequently triggered by cochlear damage, leading to central neuronal alterations and maladaptive plasticity. Progress in neuroimaging and psychoacoustic testing is improving diagnostic precision, while multidisciplinary treatment approaches are gaining clinical relevance and should be increasingly emphasized.
期刊介绍:
HNO is an internationally recognized journal and addresses all ENT specialists in practices and clinics dealing with all aspects of ENT medicine, e.g. prevention, diagnostic methods, complication management, modern therapy strategies and surgical procedures.
Review articles provide an overview on selected topics and offer the reader a summary of current findings from all fields of ENT medicine.
Freely submitted original papers allow the presentation of important clinical studies and serve the scientific exchange.
Case reports feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Review articles under the rubric ''Continuing Medical Education'' present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice.
