Description: Tinnitus is the phantom perception of sound when there is no external auditory input. This sound is mostly perceived as a whistling, buzzing or hissing in the ear. Chronic tinnitus – the permanent phantom perception – currently affects 10-20% of the population but no reliable treatment has been found so far. One of the peripheral causes for tinnitus is hearing loss due to loud noise exposure or age-related degeneration, leading to plastic changes in auditory and non-auditory brain regions. In this project, we investigate neuroplastic anatomical and functional changes in tinnitus patients compared to control participants.
