Description

This Research Topic is part of the article collection series: Towards an Understanding of Tinnitus Heterogeneity. Tinnitus is the perception of a sound when no external sound is present. The severity of tinnitus varies but it can be debilitating for many patients. With more than 100 million people with chronic tinnitus worldwide, tinnitus is a disorder of high prevalence. The increased knowledge in the neuroscience of tinnitus has led to the emergence of promising treatment approaches, but no uniformly effective treatment for tinnitus has been identified. The large patient heterogeneity is considered to be the major obstacle for the development of effective treatment strategies against tinnitus. This Frontiers research topic aims to provide an inter- and multi-disciplinary survey of cutting-edge research in tinnitus, in order to better understand tinnitus heterogeneity and improve therapeutic outcomes. This requires the coordinated effort of multiple scientific disciplines including neuroscience, neurology, genetics, audiology, otolaryngology, psychology, psychiatry, pharmacology, epidemiology, medical informatics, data mining and statistics.
