About this item

This handbook provides an excellent overview of the different components of tinnitus. Each chapter is written by an author with expertise in that particular topic in the field of tinnitus. In addition to information about the different components of tinnitus, this book also provides recommendations/references of where to retrieve more specific information. Although designed for readers who have or are interested in tinnitus, the book would be beneficial for professionals who are managing people with tinnitus. The handbook is very complete in providing information on the possible causes of tinnitus, the anatomy of hearing, and different strategies to help patients manage tinnitus. One of the nice features of this handbook is that a number of the authors provide lists for the consumer to use to address certain aspects of tinnitus. Patients should find this handbook useful, but it would be even more useful if the professionals who are helping the patients have a copy, so they can provide guidance in using it. 86/100.
