Abstract
In this study, we evaluate the potential of vagal nerve stimulation to alter the perception of tinnitus in patients with refractory epilepsy. Eighty percent of patients noted some level of subjective tinnitus improvement after VNS implantation. Given this finding, there may be a potential additional benefit to the use of VNS in patients with epilepsy.
