Tinnitus - the perception of sound in the ear, in the absence of
external sound - affects around 250 million people worldwide. It
occurs in adults as well as in children, in war veterans and
factory workers, in classical musicians, rockstars, and disc
jockeys. Consequently, a history of recreational, occupational, and
firearm noise exposure may all be associated with an increased
likelihood of acquiring tinnitus.
Being a subjective phenomenon, tinnitus is difficult to measure,
though, in the past decade, it has become the subject of intensive
scientific research. Research in neuroscience has revealed how
tinnitus is generated by the brain when hearing loss occurs, and
this research has played a part in helping us understand the cause,
diagnosis, and treatment of this disorder.
The Neuroscience of Tinnitus reviews our current knowledge of the
neural substrates of tinnitus. It draws heavily on the author's own
extensive work in this field, and is divided into two parts, the
first focusing on human models, the second on animal models. The
book describes the search for the neural mechanisms that underlie
the amplification process resulting in tinnitus, and ways to manage
its maladaptive side effects. Based on over 1000 references and the
author's own experience, both of tinnitus and the research into its
mechanisms, this book is the most comprehensive single-author book
on the market. It is a valuable reference source for auditory
neuroscientists, and also to those in the fields of audiology,
psychology, neurology, and otolaryngology.
