About this Research Topic
The goal of this research topic is to highlight current and emerging tools for clinical practice and their scientific basis. The topic will be a collection of manuscripts that will inform and aid clinical practice in tinnitus. The research topic will be a source for clinical knowledge on established assessment and management methods, their basis and evidence to support their use. Emerging methods and steps being undertaken to evaluate them will be highlighted. An emphasis will be placed on enabling clinicians to access and implement the tools and protocols described. There will be the opportunity for authors to make their methods available to readers through on-line repository of materials.
The research topic will accept manuscripts focused on all aspects of the clinical assessment and management of tinnitus, particularly manuscripts that provide clinicians with practical solutions to help tinnitus patients. We are interested in various manuscript types including:
- Reviews of current tinnitus protocols
- Detailed descriptions of innovative clinical methods and materials
- Case and cohort observational studies
- Qualitative evaluation of clinic practices
- Technical reports of clinic assessment and management methods
- Novel clinical models, tools, and proof-of-concept studies
- Clinical trials
Keywords: tinnitus protocol, audiology, treatment
