Tinnitus Archive (original) (raw)

Welcome

The Tinnitus Archive is a resource that provides quantitative information about clinically-significant tinnitus (ringing or other noises in the ears or head). It deals exclusively with [subjective tinnitus](glossary/index.html#subjective tinnitus) (that is, tinnitus that can only be heard by the person experiencing it). Readers are referred elsewhere for information on [objective tinnitus](glossary/index.html#objective tinnitus).

What is the Archive?

The Tinnitus Archive contains statistical summaries concerning the characteristics of clinically-significant, subjective tinnitus in a large group of tinnitus patients. The subjects whose data are summarized in the Archive are drawn from the [Tinnitus Data Registry](glossary/index.html#Tinnitus Data Registry), a research database maintained by the Oregon Hearing Research Center, Department of Otolaryngology, Oregon Health & Science University. The Registry was set up specifically to study tinnitus.
