Somatosensory tinnitus is suspected when the tinnitus perception changes following head, neck, or jaw maneuvers. The prevalence of this type of tinnitus in Veterans in unknown. The Cleveland Clinic evaluates all tinnitus patients for this condition and when detected, prescribes individualized physiotherapy. Cleveland Clinic's novel approach to tinnitus assessment and management provides the framework for this proof of concept pilot study.
