Tinnitus is the perceived sensation of sound in the absence of acoustic stimulation. It is the commonest otological disorder referred to either the general practitioner or ear-nose-throat surgeon.

This short review examines prevalence, aetiology, associated clinical symptoms, investigations and management.

Despite current usage of a vast number of treatment modalities there remains no specific cure for the condition. However, there is currently great emphasis on tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) in its management. The applications and results of TRT have, indeed, been encouraging - and are also briefly discussed here.

Key Words: Aetiology • management • prevalence • retraining therapy • tinnitus
