Introduction

Abstract

We now come to our final session concerning treatment methods and results. We are very honoured to have with us here a number of internationally-distinguished individuals in various specialties, particularly otolaryngology. We now have the treatment session divided into three sections: one section for treatment that will control tinnitus by masking; the second for medical treatment; and the third for surgical treatment. I have selected moderators for each of these sections who are international in their experience as well as in their reputations. First, for the section on tinnitus masking, I have asked Mr John C. Ballantyne, of London, England, to chair the section. He is editor of the Journal of Laryngolgy and Otology. We are honoured to have him with us.
