The underlying cause of tinnitus has been described by researchers as one of the most controversial issues in medical science. Despite decades of intense research, the cure for tinnitus remains elusive. Consequently, millions of tinnitus sufferers are left susceptible to the frustration and annoyance brought about by the ever-present ringing in their ears. Mark Knoblauch has himself lived with tinnitus for over 15 years and understands the daily battles that often occur in those individuals afflicted with tinnitus. He has been through the phases of avoiding quiet rooms, delaying bedtime, and seeking the sound of white noise in order to prevent the exasperation that is so common for someone feeling the effects of tinnitus. Now, despite still living with tinnitus daily, the high-pitched sound in his ear has become nothing more than an afterthought thanks to a dedicated treatment plan. And the success he had in addressing his own tinnitus drove him to write Outlining Tinnitus. This book is designed to serve as an all-inclusive guide for those individuals who suffer from tinnitus as well as those who live with or know someone suffering. Topics such as the involved anatomy, suspected causes, available therapies and treatments, and effects on quality of life are all discussed along with many others in order to provide a comprehensive overview of what tinnitus is as well as how it can be effectively eliminated.
