ABSTRACT

Tinnitus is the conscious experience of sound without an external acoustic source. Many years of research effort have contributed to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying tinnitus, including the neural correlates of tinnitus. Our laboratory has been investigating the modulatory effects of somatosensory and cortical electrical stimulation on the neural correlates of tinnitus in auditory and nonauditory structures. These aspects of tinnitus suppression research are explored in an effort to stimulate further studies and to promote the development of effective strategies in the management of tinnitus through electrical stimulation.

KEYWORDS

Tinnitus - electrical stimulation - dorsal cochlear nucleus - inferior colliculus - amygdala
