Tinnitus is any perception of sound that occurs in the absence of an external acoustic stimulus. It affects 15% of the world population (Cederroth RC et al. 2019) and 22% of the population of São Paulo city (Oiticica & Bittar 2015). One of the pathophysiological mechanisms is related to the increased glutamate activity, the main excitatory neurotransmitter within the cochlea, it is excito…
Hearing loss (whether noise-induced or age-related) is one of the top three chronic conditions of an aging population, with one in three individuals suffering from hearing loss by the 7th decade. A related disorder of tinnitus (or "ringing in the ears") is associated with approximately 50-80% of those with hearing loss. Although hearing loss may lead to tinnitus, in contrast with hearing …
The diversity of causes and symptoms associated with tinnitus, and the lack of an effective medication for its treatment, has motivated research in the area. The use of imaging technology, with positron emission tomography (PET), allows the study of neural and functional alterations in these patients. The aim of this study is to compare the neural mapping of individuals with chronic tinn…

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is a vestibular source reflex most commonly used for diagnosis and follow up of vestibular disorders that result in body imbalance. Perhaps the most frequently used assessment method for measuring and clinical follow up of the VOR is the bithermal caloric test of the external ear. The heat transmission by temporal bone causes volumetric expansion of the e…
The vestibule-ocular reflex (VOR) is the most widely used reflex of vestibular origin for the diagnosis and follow up of vestibular diseases that result in body imbalance. One of the main used evaluation method to measure and clinical follow up VOR is the sinusoidal stimulus in the computed rotary chair. The stimulus generated by the rotation of the chair triggers responses in the semicir…
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is the vestibular reflex most widely used for diagnosis and monitoring diseases that result in body imbalance. One of the most commonly used assessment methods for measuring and monitoring clinical VOR is the pendular stimulus in the computerized rotary chair. The stimulus generated by the chair rotation triggers semicircular canals responses, whose physi…
