Neural mechanisms underlying somatic tinnitus.
Somatic tinnitus is clinically observed modulation of the pitch and loudness of tinnitus by somatic stimulation. This phenomenon and the association of tinnitus with somatic neural disorders indicate that neural connections between the somatosensory and auditory systems may play a role in tinnitus. Anatomical and physiological evidence supports these observations. The trigeminal and dorsal root...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives on tinnitus.
innitus in adults has received much scientific and clinical attention of late. Traditional theories about the pathogenesis of tinnitus concentrated on the cochlea, but this model had some serious shortcomings and could not explain some clinical findings. A purely cochlear model of tinnitus fails to explain those patients who have tinnitus in the presence of normal hearing and conversely why man...

متن کاملStructural brain changes in tinnitus.
Tinnitus is a common but poorly understood disorder characterized by ringing or buzzing in the ear. Central mechanisms must play a crucial role in generating this auditory phantom sensation as it persists in most cases after severing the auditory nerve. One hypothesis states that tinnitus is caused by a reorganization of tonotopic maps in the auditory cortex, which leads to an overrepresentatio...
متن کاملUnderlying mechanisms of tinnitus: review and clinical implications.
BACKGROUND The study of tinnitus mechanisms has increased tenfold in the last decade. The common denominator for all of these studies is the goal of elucidating the underlying neural mechanisms of tinnitus with the ultimate purpose of finding a cure. While these basic science findings may not be immediately applicable to the clinician who works directly with patients to assist them in managing ...
