Cortical and Brainstem Topognostic Testing Tinnitus Patients - A Preliminary Report

Preliminary electrophysiologic topognostic test findings suggest a method for the functional localization and quantification of tinnitus; and provides a basis for the selection and monitoring of treatment. Numerous and different locations of the tinnitus symptom have been identified. In our series approximately 24% of tinnitus patients were identified to have a peripheral origin; 35% originated in the brainstem; and 41 % at a supratentorial level.
