Measurement and management of tinnitus. Part I. Measurement.
This paper comprises mainly a description of the clinical practice and experience of the Tinnitus Clinic at the General Hospital, Nottingham, which has evolved as a result of and during the course of a 3-year DHSS-sponsored study of the efficacy of tinnitus maskers. The paper is supported by some experimental data from laboratory, epidemiological and clinical studies, and by information on the number of patients who can be seen, the staff required and the methods used in the clinic.
