Well, now I regret one more time never having studied Italian.  I  can
only hope that my comments are SOMEWHAT relevant.

I see alt.support.tinnitus among the newsgroups to which this is
posted.  There is a very interesting article on tinnitus and associated
problems--e.g. hyperacusis, and problems with background noise--in the
current issue of Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, as
sequelae of head trauma (including MILD trauma).  Among speculations as
to the basis for the abnormalities they found (attributable to impaired
inhibitory function of medial olivary complex in most subjects,
possibly at a higher level in a few) is one about neurotransmitter
changes rather than structural damage.

A propos of that, see the literature linking vertigo to migraine and
the possibility that treatment AS IF migraine might be one option.

I am also interested in the finding of enhanced NO production in
vestibular nuclei (among others) during stress.  Especially interested 
in view of the known role of NO in migraine...
