title: Management of tinnitus: a practical approach.
abstract: This paper presents our experience with 500 patients with intractable tinnitus who were referred to our tinnitus clinic during the past 10 years. We propose a management plan based on identification and classification of three types of tinnitus. We describe what a tinnitus clinic adds to patient care, with emphasis on how these treatment methods can be utilized in office practice.
