The frequency of the Tinnitus phenomenon has increased over the last decades. This is in connection with the development of human civilization, the ever changing environment and way of life and the increased number of diseases of wide social importance. We propose here a review of contemporary theories regarding the genesis, development, consequences and treatment methods of chronic Tinnitus.
--------------------------------
Честотата на Tinnitus се увеличава през последните десетилетия. Това е във връзка с развитието на човешката цивилизация, променящия се начин на живот, влиянието на околната среда и нарастването на броя и на социално значимите заболявания. Предлагаме преглед на съвременните теории за генезата, развитието, последиците и методите на лечение на хроничния Tinnitus.
