Filter by:Nearly 50 million people in the U.S. experience tinnitus, of which about 20 million people have burdensome chronic tinnitus. Tinnitus can be very debilitating as many aspects of daily life can be affected, such as sleep, mood, and concentration. Currently, there is no cure for tinnitus. Pharmacological or sound-therapy based interventions are sometimes provided but may be of limited value to certain individuals. Research suggests that Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) based approaches have the most evidence of effectiveness in the management of tinnitus. However, CBT is rarely offered to tinnitus sufferers in the U.S. (less than 1%), partly because of lack of trained professionals who can deliver CBT. To improve access to CBT for tinnitus, an online CBT program has been developed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the full CBT administered via the Internet results in better outcomes when compared to relaxation only CBT administered via the Internet for adults with tinnitus in the United States.
This is an observational study of specialised CBT for tinnitus for adults delivered in routine care.
This pilot study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment of unilateral or bilateral, non-pulsatile, disabling, tinnitus, without vestibular dysfunction, using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the parieto-insular right operculum 3 (OP3) in a cross-over, double study design.
This project aims to explore, in depth, the burden of hearing loss and tinnitus on cancer survivors. Using semi-structured interviews, audiograms and a variety of validated questionnaires, the specific impact ototoxicity has on quality of life will be investigated. From this, we can identify the specific needs of patients experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus following chemotherapy and develop a tailored and personalised support system.
This study will involve collaborating with oncologists in the post-chemotherapy follow-up appointments. The participants who wish to consent to this study will then answer 3 short questionnaires (THI, HHIA and SF-36) about hearing loss, tinnitus and quality of life. The audiologist or the researcher, under the supervision of an audiologist, will then perform a simple, non-invasive hearing test on the participant. Should the participant have a hearing loss, they will be advise to seek help from their General Practitioner.
The investigators combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to increase the effective response of a single session of neuromodulation in subjective tinnitus.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacity of N-acetylcystein against Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of high-dose intranasal oxytocin for treating tinnitus. The hypothesis is that high dose intranasal oxytocin can significantly reduce tinnitus severity and disability.
This is an exploratory pilot open-label study to identify the signal changes on fMRI of patients with tinnitus and with temporary suppression of the tinnitus with IV lidocaine. Patients will include those with hearing loss (both unilateral and bilateral) and tinnitus, subjects with normal hearing and tinnitus, and control subjects with normal hearing and no tinnitus. Eligible subjects will have functional and subjective data collected at baseline, receive an IV lidocaine infusion, and have functional and subjective data collected post-infusion for comparison and identification of involved neural networks.
The aim of this study is to evaluate hearing characteristics in patients with and without tinnitus using DPOAE and specific tinnitus severity index (TSI) and tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) questionnaires in both groups. Purpose of the research: Demonstrate that the characteristics of tinnitus depend on the presence and magnitude of hearing loss. Research participants: 150 patients coming for further audiological treatment due to tinnitus. Data will be collected from an electronic database that is filled in during diagnostic processing. During the diagnostic processing, TSI and THI questionnaires will be filled in, a tone audiogram (TA) and DPOAE will be performed.
