Tinnitus affects over 15% of the population worldwide, yet the field remains fragmented, underfunded, and riddled with contradictory advice.
Drawing on 20 years of lived experience, 16 years of interdisciplinary research, 5 years of clinical care, and over 3'000 accompanied cases, Lara Nagel has built a model that brings coherence to one of the most misunderstood symptoms.
 
The Tinnitus Matrix is the culmination of that work: a systems-based reference book that reframes tinnitus as a multi-systemic, neurobiological, and metabolic phenomenon rather than a standalone condition.
 
Inside, readers will discover:
The Tinnitus Triage Matrix — a structured system to categorise cases and uncover root causes, applicable across disciplines
A framework for smart interviewing and testing, including red flags, labs, imaging, audiology, and biomarkers
Case archetypes that map real-world patterns into actionable clinical strategies
Comprehensive recovery protocol basics
A critical analysis of current care models, why so many fail, and how to move beyond fragmented approaches
 
This is not a book of quick fixes or false promises. It is a comprehensive guide and reference, designed for clinicians, researchers, and people living with tinnitus alike — a resource to bring clarity where confusion has long dominated.
For anyone who wants to move beyond symptom-chasing and into structured, evidence-based care that addresses the whole system, creates the basis for relief, and moves far beyond coping.
