Welcome
The
Tinnitus Archive
is a resource that provides quantitative information about clinically-significant tinnitus (ringing or other noises in the ears or head). It deals exclusively with
subjective tinnitus (that is, tinnitus that can only be heard by the person experiencing it). Readers are referred elsewhere for information on
objective tinnitus.
What is the
Archive?
The
Tinnitus Archive
contains statistical summaries concerning the characteristics of clinically-significant, subjective tinnitus in a large group of tinnitus patients. The subjects whose data are summarized in the
Archive
are drawn from the
Tinnitus Data Registry, a research database maintained by the
Oregon Hearing Research Center, Department of Otolaryngology,
Oregon Health & Science University. The Registry was set up specifically to study tinnitus.
