Reviews

From the reviews:“Doctor Moller’s new book achieves a lot compared to other books on the market. He comprehensively goes into the history, pathophysiology, symptoms and associated brain disorders afflicting people suffering from tinnitus. … Neurologists, Psychologists, Audiologists, Neurosurgeons, and researchers in this field will find this book a bible on tinnitus. I am proud to be able to review this text and advocate it to all of those with an interest in the Mind-Brain dichotomy. … I have no reservations in highly advocating this book to neurologists.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, January, 2014)
