    Author: Ylikoski J.
    Journal: Duodecim; 2009; 125(17):1859-67. PubMed ID: 19860089.
    Abstract:
    Tinnitus is a symptom caused by the dysfunction of the auditory system associated with hyperactive networks of the central auditory tract. Intimate relationship of the auditory tract with the limbic system may lead to a stress reaction with subsequent sleep disturbances, distress and depression. The target of tinnitus treatment shoud be the annoyance caused by tinnitus, not the sensation itself. Optimally, all tinnitus patients should be treated according to the TRT-principles including careful diagnostics, informational counceling and sound-based therapies. Some patients need sleep therapy as well as anti-depressive therapy.
