options for treatment and management, and discuss the implications for practice, especially directed for the hearing aid audiologist. Crummer & Hassan (2004, p. 120) maintained that tinnitus is
a common hearing disorder that can manifest itself in a number of ways. Tinnitus comes from the Latin for "to ring" and is described as a ringing in the
ear or other unwanted sounds that appear to be coming from or originating from an internal source. Tinnitus is localized and rarely heard by others, and so etiological views
have assessed a variety of potential causative factors, from damage in the ear canal or drum to auditory nerve damage or tumors (Crummer & Hassan 2004, p. 122).
Unlike other hearing issues which can occur in early childhood, tinnitus is rarely diagnosed in children. Those impacted by tinnitus are generally between the ages of 40-70 years and
comprise approximately 10 percent of the population in this country. Both men and women are impacted by tinnitus equally, and the varied causative components of this disease underscore the
complexity in diagnosing and treating the problem (Fortune, Hayes & Hall 1999, p. 153; Rabinowitz 2000, p. 60). Depending on the causative factors and mitigating symptoms, the severity of
