Extract

Just as the various words used to describe pain are helpful to physicians in identifying the probable cause of the pain, the words used by tinnitus patients to describe their tinnitus sounds may prove useful for categorizing tinnitus and, eventually, for identifying the cause(s) of the tinnitus. We here report preliminary attempts to analyze verbal descriptions of tinnitus sensations obtained from a large population of tinnitus patients.
