Abstract

In 307 subjects with tinnitus aurium, the parameters frequency, loudness, and masking levels did not correlate significantly with the basic diseases. As a new possibility in differentiation between tinnitus of central or peripheral origin, bilateral caloric long-term irrigation of the ear canal is presented.

An explanation of this phenomenon lies in the hypothesis of tinnitus genesis established by Tonndorf.
