title: [Treatment of tinnitus by mean of electric transcutaneous stimulation (author's transl)].
abstract: In about a third of cases transcutaneous stimulation during a few minute by mean of electric square waves substantially improves severe tinnitus. This very simple treatment must be frequently repeated two or three times to be successful. If a notable improvement is not obtained after two or three attempts, failure must be considered as certain. The parameters of these stimulation are described and clinical results are reported. The mechanism of these improvement is uncertain.
