What’s that sound?? Tinnitus has a (not so) nice ring to it
with Travis Riffle, AuD, PhD, CCC-A
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is the phantom perception of sound that cannot be attributed to any external or environmental source. It’s a phenomenon that has frustrated us for thousands of years, and still continues to affect millions of people today. But what is tinnitus? Why is it so annoying, and why haven’t we cured it yet? Join us as we discuss the (proposed) underlying mechanisms, what research has (and hasn’t) figured out, and some interesting ways that we (try to) treat it.
