An interview for Practical Medicine about actions taken to raise awareness about tinnitus.

Due to the great interest in the issue of tinnitus, ass. prof. Piotr H. Skarżyński, MD gave an interview on this issue to Practical Medicine. It was a summary of the First Week of Knowledge about Tinnitus.

During the First Week of Knowledge about Tinnitus, which lasted from 6 till 12 February, there were numerous actions aimed at disseminating information on tinnitus.

Ass. prof. Piotr H. Skarżyński, the director of the Institute of Sensory Organs and scientific secretary of the International Tinnitus Seminar and First World Tinnitus Congress, emphasizes that this subject should be of interest to patients but also to doctors. The action on tinnitus takes a big leap and meets expectations and the needs of patients and doctors. Therefore a compendium of knowledge on tinnitus was published. This publication was prepared by the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing and the Institute of Sensory Organs. The compendium has also appeared in a paper version.
