Abstract
Tinnitus is a pervasive symptom that can affect many people with hearing loss. It is found that its incidence is increasing due to accompanying occupational and environmental noise. Even, there is no standard treatment is present up till now, but cochlear implants (CI) positive effects are well proven and documented.
Patients with unilateral severe hearing loss benefit from a cochlear implant; to improve their hearing and also often reduce the stress caused by their tinnitus. This chapter provides an overview of many publicly available reports about cochlear implant and tinnitus, including the mechanisms of tinnitus reduction by cochlear stimulation. We also review several articles demonstrating the benefit of cochlear implants for unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. We believe that this approach will help many, and should be considered as standard practice and reimbursed.
