Abstract
Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom of the troublesome disturbance of the auditory organ. In most cases causes of its origin are of complex nature and consist in the disturbance of the function of important tracts and organs.
Thus tinnitus becomes a kind of their epiphenomenon. In the diagnostics of tinnitus it is necessary to act in the inter-disciplinary manner; in addition to detailed examination of hearing it is essential to know patient's general health status.
The effective treatment is multimodal and we generally combine more treatment approaches for chronic tinnitus. The key moment is co-operation with an attending physician and mutual confidence, appreciation and understanding between both sides
