TINNITUS WHAT AND WHERE: AN ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Tinnitus is an interaction of the environment, cognition and plasticity. The connection between the individual with tinnitus and their world seldom receives attention in neurophysiological research. As well as changes in cell excitability, an individual’s culture and beliefs, work and social envir...
