Extract

The purpose of this paper is to report on the clinical experience gained with the use of antihistamine; vasodilator medication—alone and/or in combin- ation in an attempt to control SIT (subjective idiopathic tinnitus). The report is based on 172 consecutive clinical cases seen for the chief complaint of SIT. This report is not a controlled study; however, it is presented to give a clinical impression of the response of the patient to such management based on our case series. Whenever tinnitus is mentioned, we refer to SIT (subjective idiopathic tinnitus).
