Filter by: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 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.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect, onset and duration of action, and short-term outcomes of acupuncture therapy in the treatment of patients with severe chronic subjective tinnitus. Methods: This study is a randomized, controlled trial evaluating patients with chronic, idiopathic and severe tinnitus. A total of 105 participants were divided into two groups using the randomization method: the study group that received real acupuncture therapy (n = 53) and the sham acupuncture group. Ten acupuncture sessions were applied over five weeks. After treatment, each participant was monitored for up to three months according to the changes in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Pure-Tone Audiometry and Speech Discrimination scores.
With this study we want to investigate the impact of self-help tools on the subjective tinnitus distress in chronic tinnitus patients. Furthermore, we want to investigate the influence of personal characteristics on the individual tinnitus improvement.
Objective Tinnitus is one of the most common acoustic disorders by affecting 5-43% people around the world, and tinnitus is harmful to social and individuals, inducing to annoyance, irritability, anxiety, depression, insomnia and concentration difficulties. Many efforts have been made to help tinnitus suffers, however, the curative means are still in absence. This study aims to introduce a novel sound therapy for tinnitus and to evaluate the efficacy of modified tinnitus relieving sound treatment in comparison with unmodified music which served as a control. Methods and analysis A randomized, triple-blinded, controlled, clinical trial will be carried out. 68 patients with subjective tinnitus will be recruited and randomized into two groups in 1:1 ratio. The primary outcomes will be Tinnitus Handicapped Inventory (THI), Hospital Anxiety and Distress Scale (HADS), and visual analogue scale (VAS) for tinnitus; the secondary outcome measures will be Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), tinnitus loudness matched by sensation level (LM, SL), and minimum masking level (MML). Assessment will be performed at baseline and at 1, 3, 9, and 12 months post-randomization. The sound stimulus will be persistent until 9 months after randomization, and be interdictory in the last three months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), and exploratory efficacy of OTO-313 administered as an intratympanic injection for the treatment of subjective tinnitus.
Prevalence of chronic subjective tinnitus is rising with age and associated with maladaptive oscillatory changes in auditory as well as non-auditory regions of the brain such as the insula and the anterior cingulate cortex which are known to be key points within the salience and distress networks of the brain.Thus, we are conducting a clinical trial by implementing those auditory as well as non-auditory regions into a tomographical neurofeedback Training (ToNF) -protocol. Prior to 12 electroencephalography (EEG) -based ToNF-trainings with 36 older participants using standardized Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography Software (sLORETA, Pascual-Marqui 2002), participants' brains will be measured using structural magnet resonance imaging (sMRI) in order to identify potential structural markers for training success (e.g. cortical thickness). Training success will be measured by oscillatory change via EEG before and after the training period as well as by means of follow-up measures. Furthermore, a comprehensive battery of behavioral and psychometric standardized self-report questionnaires will be applied. Based on this multifocal (Insula, dorsal anterior cingulate cortex & auditory cortex) ToNF we expect oscillatory changes resulting in decreased tinnitus symptoms such as perceived loudness and distress.
The main goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the Resound Relief app in alleviating problems associated with tinnitus, using both behavioral assessment and brain imaging. Subjective tinnitus ("ringing in the ears") is the false perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus. It often causes emotional distress and, in severe cases, interferes with daily activities and can lead to anxiety and depression. Sound therapy and relaxation techniques have been widely used as prominent interventions to ameliorate the adverse effects of tinnitus on overall health and psychological variables. The Resound Relief app combines the merit of these two kinds of therapy to allow the patients to alternate between therapies and manipulate them according to their specifics and needs. To assess the efficacy of the Resound Relief app in relieving tinnitus, the investigators will perform an interventional study in which tinnitus patients will use the app installed on their smart phones for six months. The effects of this intervention will be quantified via audiological and cognitive assessments, administering questionnaires and surveys, and MRI scanning sessions. Audiological and cognitive assessments, and MRI scanning will be conducted before and six months after the use of the Resound Relief app. Tinnitus-related questionnaires will be administered before, two, four, and six months after beginning use of the app. A short survey will be filled out every week regarding participants' experience with the app, tracking changes in the users' tinnitus, hearing loss and general emotional well-being.
There is no specific treatment that can cure somatosensory tinnitus and usually conservative physical therapy modalities are used in the literature. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of kinesio taping applied to sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezium and levator scapulae muscles on the somatosensory tinnitus associated with neck complaints.
This study evaluates the treatment efficacy of tinnitus in people with mild hearing loss. One-third of participants will use hearing aid, one-third of participants will use customized music, while the other one-third participants will receive no treatment (waiting list control).
