Notes
- 1.
The authors are clinicians from different specialties who all have extensive experience in the management of tinnitus patients. The algorithm for the diagnostic and therapeutic management of tinnitus patients has been developed in the framework of the Tinnitus Research Initiative (http://www.tinnituresearch.org). In order to avoid bias due to specific disciplines or specific health care systems, the group was multidisciplinary (consisting of otolaryngologists, audiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and a neurosurgeon) and multinational (Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and Spain).
