Tinnitus in children and adolescents.

ENT practitioners are rarely confronted with tinnitus complaints from children. The present paper describes a literature review conducted in an attempt to identify possible reasons for this. Rather than applying the vast amount of information about tinnitus among adults, it seeks to highlight those domains where differences between children and adults are of importance.
