Abstract
The success rate of eighth nerve section in abolishing tinnitus is disappointing and the results generally unpredictable. A comparison of the effects of a bolus intravenous injection of lidocaine with the effects of nerve section is reported: it presents some evidence that the response to lidocaine may be of value in selecting patients for nerve section, and further it may shed some light on the site of action of lidocaine in suppressing tinnitus.Entities:
