The study is a randomised double-blinded trial. A group of 40 tinnitus patients with a naturally low Q10 level will be selected out of a preselected group of 160 screened out of a pre-existed database or patients which visited the ENT-consultation. The 40 patients with the lowest level will be asked to take 2 months Q10 (n=20) or the placebo (n=20). To evaluate the effect on hearing and tinnitus characteristic; audiometric test, tinnitus analysis and auditory evoked responses will be used as outcome measurements.
