The objective of this project is to study the impact of tinnitus on the cognitive, emotional, psychoacoustic and cerebral functioning associated with this hearing disorder, and to clarify the pathophysiology of tinnitus by comparing different groups of individuals with tinnitus (surgical epileptic patients or non-surgical ORL patients) to matched tinnitus-free groups (surgical tinnitus-free cases and h
