This book describes the theoretical background of the different forms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and detailed knowledge of state-of-the-art treatments of tinnitus. Tinnitus has many forms, and the severity ranges widely from being non-problematic to severely affecting a person’s daily life. How loud the tinnitus is perceived does not directly relate to how much it distresses the patient. Thus, even tinnitus very close to the hearing threshold can be a disabling symptom. It can reduce the quality of life by generating anxiety and concentration problems, impairing the ability to do intellectual work, making it difficult to sleep, causing depression and sometimes even leading to suicide. Textbook of Tinnitus has filled a void by providing a comprehensive overview about the different forms of tinnitus, their pathophysiology and their treatment. However, since the publication of the first edition of the Textbook of Tinnitus in 2011, tinnitus research has dramatically evolved. In view of the substantial increase in knowledge, most chapters in this second edition are newly written and a few original chapters have had major updates. This edition has nine sections, covering the basics of tinnitus, the neurobiology of tinnitus, pathophysiological models, animal research, diagnosis and assessment, various forms of management and treatment, and finally, a look at the future of tinnitus and tinnitus research. The book will be of great interest to otolaryngologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, primary care clinicians, audiologists and psychologists, and students. Because of its organization and its extensive subject index, Textbook of Tinnitus, Second Edition can also serve as a reference for clinicians who do not treat tinnitus patients routinely.

Anhand einer verstandlichen und ansprechenden Anwendung aus dem Bereich der Tinnitusforschung werden wiederkehrende Problemstellungen und Muster im Bereich mobiler App-Entwicklung analysiert und diskutiert. Dazu erlautern die Autoren die Programmierkonzepte, Techniken, Frameworks und Mechanismen, welche fur die Umsetzung dieser Musteranwendung relevant sind. Der Leser soll weitreichende Einblicke und Analysemethoden an die Hand bekommen, um Projekte zur Entwicklung mobiler Apps besser und effektiver durchfuhren zu koennen. Das Buch dient somit als wichtige Entscheidungshilfe fur die Realisierung mobiler Anwendungen, die entweder eigenstandig oder in Verbindung mit Fremdsystemen entwickelt werden mussen und die zudem aktuelle Techniken verwenden sollen. Dazu wird die Anwendung beispielhaft mit einem mobilen Framework entwickelt. Weitere Frameworks werden mitdiskutiert. So entsteht Schritt fur Schritt die Anwendung und die einzelnen architektonischen Bausteine werden eingefuhrt und didaktisch aufbereitet. Erganzend wird auf spezielle Paradigmen eingegangen, die den Frameworks zugrunde liegen.
