A neurological condition that can be highly distressing, tinnitus affects as much as fifteen percent of our population, according to some surveys. How should medical professionals counsel their patients on this condition? Are we moving closer to understanding the basic triggers of tinnitus? Dr. Richard Salvi, professor in the department of communicative disorders and sciences, and director of the Center for Hearing Deafness at the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine, joins host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill to discuss the impact of tinnitus on the daily lives of our patients.
