Abstract
The development and processing of tinnitus is often associated with stress. There are many publications on this subject that have investigated possible connections between stress perception and tinnitus symptoms using different concepts and different test inventories. In this review, we present the development of Selye's concept of stress using the transactional stress model of Lazarus and its transfer to patients suffering from tinnitus. The literature evaluating the influence of stress on tinnitus symptoms with partly very different concepts is critically reviewed. For example, it is suggested that psychosocial stress has the same likelihood of contributing to tinnitus as noise in the workplace. However, what is striking in previous studies is that "stress" as an influencing variable could not be clearly verified with suitable psychometric test procedures or that no significant differences-to very different comparison groups-could be shown. Finally, apossible therapeutic approach to stress management is outlined.
