 Informative and wide ranging October 30, 2006

The book is written in a convenient 'question and answer' style. I was initially doubtful the authors could pull it off, but the pacing and flow is very well done. The book doesn't promise any miracles, just covers the basics. Just about every treatment imaginable is given some attention. The authors mention what scientific information is known, then move on.
 A very good (but somewhat scattered) book-length FAQ September 24, 2006

My one quibble with Dr. Vernon's book is that the smorgasboard of questions to which he provides answers seems a bit arbitrary and haphazard. For example, how about answering the question about what the current leading theories of tinnitus causation are, or what (in Dr. Vernon's vast experience) is the best treatment strategy for someone who suffers from this condition? You must look elsewhere for that kind of information.
In fact, the lack of systematic exposition gives you the sense of a game of trivial pursuit as Dr. Vernon jumps from topic to topic. But it must be said that, for all that, one can learn a great deal from this pioneer in tinnitus treatment and research, and the tone of the book is positive and filled with warmth and an obvious and deep commitment to helping those with "ringing in the ears".
Gets you well informed on tinnitus! August 10, 2006

Having mild tinnitus and wanting to learn a little bit of how the future might make it worse, and what I could do to keep it from getting worse, I needed a good source of information. I found a lot of info on the web, but soon understood I needed info of a more reliable and unbiased kind. So I read this book "Tinnitus: Questions and Answers" and was very satisfied. It covers the topic of tinnitus both in depth and width, and it does so in an unbiased and easy to understand way.
Also; not having english as my native tounge, I found this book easy to read and easy to understand. It is well written and full og explanations.
Read it, and get well informed on tinnitus!
This advice is for common people as well as general physicians and ear-nose-throat doctors (!!!)

When I was first diagnosed with Tinnitus a month ago, I was thoroughly confused. The audiologist who confirmed the hearing loss was of the " deal with it" school. I needed more than that. My greatest source of help has been the American Tinnitus Association (ATA.org) and this is a book produced by them. If you are experiencing this phenomenon or if you have someone in your family who is, this book is a terrific source of information. It is done in a question and answer format and I can almost assure you that any question you might have is covered in this book in some fashion or another. And the reader is never made to feel that they are stupid for asking "that" question. It was very helpful to me.

My father is a tinnitus patient and I wanted to learn as much as possible about tinnitus without getting bogged down in depressing detail. This book was practically perfect for that. There is, as yet, no cure for tinnitus, but the authors remain optimistic. The question-and-answer format of the book makes it very readable for the layman and it seems to cover every possible aspect of living with tinnitus.
