Abstract
One of the most frustrating clinical problems for both otolaryngologist and patient is having to deal with the symptom of tinnitus. From the patient's point of view, frustration stems from the fact that this often unrelenting symptom can lead to a total disruption of a productive lifestyle, and in a number of instances, proves to be a tragically fatal symptom as the patients turn to suicide as a final solution. The otolaryngologist has been frustrated because until recently he has had little more than sympathy to offer the patient. This has led to a helpless feeling between both parties.Keywords
