In the management of any patient suffering from tinnitus, it is essential first to identify and treat any underlying cause and then to apply proven tinnito-suppressive treatment to any persistent tinnitus. The present model is concerned with the management of patients whose tinnitus persists despite this approach. It indicates how all relevant information about the patient should be obtained and subsequently applied in determining the approach(es) most pertinent to the particular patient. It aims to be independent of any specific setting and applicable to all clinicians concerned with helping the patient suffering from tinnitus.
