My interest in tinnitus is very long. It stems, I think, from an interest in the sensory nature of Medicine, if you like in the cultural aspect of it. Imagine my horror when I discovered, starting my training, that I had to do some millions of tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies and submucous resections of the septum, always aiming for an attempt at studying the senses. And, in fact, more than ten years ago, I decided that tinnitus was possibly the one that I could study then. The reason was that I was a very genial person, that we had little equipment available and that not very much was known about that subject; and I felt that if I’d say something, then maybe it would be of note. And here I am. Now the position, as I found it there, was the following: modern medicine is based on a comparison of symptomatology with pathological knowledge.
