A survey of tinnitus management in National Health Service hospitals.

This paper reports the results of a postal questionnaire survey to ascertain the current status of NHS hospital services for patients with tinnitus. Statistics are given on the various managements used, e.g. about two-thirds of consultants prescribe tinnitus maskers. A total of 66 tinnitus clinics have been identified. The data are interpreted as illustrative of the steady improvements in the last 10-15 years in tinnitus management services.
