Abstract

More than 50% of the patients seeking ENT-consultations through­out Europe complain of tinnitus, often accompanied by hearing impairment and/or vertigo. This leads to important changes in their normal lifestyle. Seldom they could develop severe depression. In our daily practice we use Vestibo in patients, which complain of tinnitus, or hearing impairment. In such cases (especially in those with tinnitus) we do not have any objective tests to monitor the condition. Patients with tinnitus with objective cause are very rare. The majority of the patients complain of hearing a stable single tone and a smaller portion hear multiple tones. High tones are heard more often, than low tones. The clinical signs/complains are most pronounced in the cases with stable single tone, which appears to be louder dur­ing the night. Compared with the tinnitus the other clinical signs - the hearing impairment and vertigo are detectable with modern medical devices. Vertigo is actually a complex sign, rather than a separate clinical entity. We often use Vestibo in patients with tin­nitus combined with ozone therapy or hyperbar oxygen therapy.
