Imaging studies |
No risk |
We focused on the role of imaging studies to find the primary cause of tinnitus, which may improve the management outcomes. |
|
Medical therapy |
Side effects of the used medications. |
This may improve the outcomes, especially in specific situations such as the associated depression of somatosensory manifestations. |
|
Intratympanic injection |
Tympanic membrane residual perforation |
It may be helpful in severe and resistant cases. |
