"Tinnitus - related pathophysiology in the cochlear nucleus"

Tinnitus, a manifestation of phantom auditory sensations, is a prevalent problem affecting 14% of the general population, with 3% severely affected by this intrusive condition. Despite high prevalence of tinnitus and significant associated financial and psychological costs, no effective treatment is currently available and its mechanisms remain largely unknown.
