“…Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is one, although its benefits currently remain elusive (Folmer et al, 2006; Peng et al, 2012). Other innovative treatments will undoubtedly appear in the area of acoustic therapy as discoveries are made with respect to the long-term effects of sound on the tinnitus percept.…”

Background The study of tinnitus mechanisms has increased tenfold in the last decade. The common denominator for all of these studies is the goal of elucidating the underlying neural mechanisms of tinnitus with the ultimate purpose of finding a cure. While these basic science findings may not be immediately applicable to the clinician who works directly with patients to assist them in managing their reactions to tinnitus, a clear understanding of these findings is needed to develop the most effective procedures for alleviating tinnitus. Purpose The goal of this review is to provide audiologists and other health-care professionals with a basic understanding of the neurophysiological changes in the auditory system likely to be responsible for tinnitus. Results It is increasingly clear that tinnitus is a pathology involving neuroplastic changes in central auditory structures that take place when the brain is deprived of its normal input by pathology in the cochlea. Cochlear pathology is not always expressed in the audiogram but may be detected by more sensitive measures. Neural changes can occur at the level of synapses between inner hair cells and the auditory nerve and within multiple levels of the central auditory pathway. Long-term maintenance of tinnitus is likely a function of a complex network of structures involving central auditory and nonauditory systems. Conclusions Patients often have expectations that a treatment exists to cure their tinnitus. They should be made aware that research is increasing to discover such a cure and that their reactions to tinnitus can be mitigated through the use of evidence-based behavioral interventions.

“…rTMS is a novel therapeutic tool targeting hyperactivity/abnormal synchronization within the auditory cortex associated with a variety of psychological and neurological conditions [15]. It is essential to develop a method whereby tinnitus may be reliably and validly quantitated, clinically meaningful changes in tinnitus detected, and treatment outcomes assessed.…”

“…The Chinese review article found 5 randomized controlled studies with a total of 160 patients but only short follow-up intervals. The authors conclude that long-term effects cannot be determined reliably [103]. An article from Boston assessed 105 publications with a total of 1,815 patients with special attention to side effects.…”
