      abstract = {This book provides up-to-date scientific information on  the pathways by which psychosocial stress can affect the  auditory system and describes current approaches to the  management of patients with stress related tinnitus. The  latest evidence is presented on aspects such as the role of  stress hormones in auditory function, the effects of  allostatic load, circadian sensitivity to auditory trauma,  and the association between stress-related biomarkers and  tinnitus. The clinically oriented chapters discuss  psychometric instruments of value in the tinnitus clinic  and present stress related tinnitus treatment protocols and  outcome measures. It is widely acknowledged that the  tinnitus percept acts as a stressor. However, it is also  now evident that psychosocial stress can play a causative  role in tinnitus and that the impact varies according to  the level, duration, and quality of the stress. Assessment  of the types and levels of stress in tinnitus patients  before, during, and after treatment is therefore very  important. Healthcare professionals attending tinnitus  patients will benefit from the information that this book  provides on the relationship between tinnitus and stress  and from the practical guidance that it offers.},
