description

1. Somatosensory tinnitus (objective or subjective) is tinnitus that can be modulated by stimulation of the somatosensory system. 2. Abnormal interactions between the auditory and the somatosensory nervous system that may occur at several levels of the central nervous system cause somatosensory tinnitus. 3. This chapter discusses how administration of a ­botulinum toxin can alleviate tinnitus and the mechanism of its action, and how that relates to its effects on chronic pain. 4. A proven benefit of botulinum toxin in patients with objective tinnitus is also discussed.
