Filter by:Tinnitus refers to a the perception of a ringing, hissing or buzzing sound despite there being no such sound in the external world. It is prevalent and for many individual is a distressing condition. Recent advances in the understanding of changes in the hearing brain and their relation to tinnitus perception has led to a focus on forms of active auditory training which might provide effective techniques for tinnitus management. Our recent trial of auditory training provided evidence that training using sounds where there is no hearing loss has benefit in terms of reduced tinnitus intrusiveness, above training at where there is some level of hearing loss. Our next challenge is to build on this finding in ways that might maximize the benefits we observe. The training software we used previously was developed for use with children. Past participants have given mixed reviews of this software. While some enjoyed the training or found it soporific, others reported that they found it too monotonous and un-motivating. We therefore wish to explore the impact of different game mechanics in the delivery of auditory training and have designed two different interactive games in the context of training for tinnitus benefit. These games will deliver the same type of auditory training as the software we currently use, but should be intrinsically motivating, i.e. be a game that the people are motivated to play irrespective of any potential benefit for tinnitus. The game we previously used is reactive, i.e. the sounds play and the player selects what they think is the correct answer (odd one out). The two new games we wish to test can be described as interactive, i.e. players control the sound delivery and actively seek the correct answer: this may have additional benefit for tinnitus.
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate if topically applied lidocaine, in the form of lidocaine patches, reduces the burden of chronic subjective tinnitus in a consistent and measurable way.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is effective in the treatment of tinnitus.
The aim of this study is to find the Effects of Anesthetics Used in Hypotensive Anesthesia on Stapes Reflex and Distortion Product Auto Acoustic Emission.
The principal hypotheses to be tested is that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) reduces the distressing impact of tinnitus to a significantly greater extent than a waiting list control or relaxation therapy. This study is a mixed design, with two groups assessed at a number of time points. The primary outcome measure will be that of tinnitus distress, and secondary outcomes will be taken of psychological distress and tinnitus loudness. The outcome measures will be measured first at 8 weeks pre-treatment. All subjects then wait for 8 weeks before being randomly allocated to either an 8 week course of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) (Group 1) or an 8 week course of Relaxation Therapy (RT) (Group 2). All participants will be assessed at two main time-points (pre and post-treatment). The outcome measures will be repeated at 1 and 6 month follow-up points.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and local tolerance of repeated treatment with AM-101.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, AM-101. AM-101 is tested for the treatment of tinnitus that started as the result of an injury to the inner ear or due to middle ear inflammation (otitis media). Subjects with tinnitus can take part in the study, if their tinnitus started within the last 3 months or within the last >3 to 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether physiotherapy is effective in the treatment of a group of tinnitus patients with neck complaints.
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for patients with a big or very big problem with tinnitus (a sensation of noise in the head).
Stimulation of the left and right auditory cortex with daily transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) is used to modulate the neural pathways involved in chronic tinnitus.
