“…As answers, it was possible to observe a significant difference in silence for all groups after 3 months of acclimatization (►Table 5). Similar results were found in a study by Santos, 17 who adapted a SG in 30 individuals divided into 2 groups: 15 with tinnitus and normal hearing and 15 with tinnitus and hearing loss, and in the speech perception test in the situation of silence, the author observed an improvement for both groups evaluated.…”

“…These findings corroborate with studies found in the literature that obtained positive results with a SG associated with amplification. 4,17,20,26,27 The THI was used as a method of evaluation in several studies, 4,[28][29][30] being considered a valid instrument due to the aspects addressed, its reliability, and for being easy to interpret. 31 Table 3 Mean and standard deviation before and after intervention and the difference between these moments, standard deviation and p-value for the THI questionnaire The VAS is considered a simple, fast, and highly valuable method, 32 and it is widely applied, as well as the THI, in tinnitus studies conducted in Brazil.…”

“…The patients had bilateral tinnitus, so the attempts were gradual and successive, with higher and lower tones until a tone close to tinnitus was reached. 17,18 For the minimum masking level (MML) search, the narrow band stimulus was used, being presented to the patient ascendingly in order to evaluate the lowest sound intensity that can mask tinnitus. 17,18 In the occurrence of tinnitus remission (total or partial), the measurements were not performed again due to the absence of the symptom.…”

Introduction Tinnitus is a disorder that affects 10 to 15% of de world's population. Sound therapy performed through hearing aids (HAs) with integrated sound generator (SG) is one of the forms of tinnitus treatment. Objective To analyze the effectiveness of four masking noises in relieving tinnitus in individuals with mild and moderate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and their influence in speech perception. Methods The participants were 35 individuals with tinnitus and mild and moderate bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, divided into four groups. All groups underwent HA and SG adaptation, being regulated in the combined mode (HA and SG). In group 1 (G1), the white noise stimulus was applied, in group 2 (G2), pink noise was applied, in group 3 (G3), speech noise, and in group 4 (G4), the high tone was applied. All patients were subjected to the following procedures: audiological diagnosis, acuphenometry, tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), visual analogue scale (VAS), and hearing in noise test (HINT). The procedures were performed prior to and after hearing intervention, and after 3 months of use of HA and SG. Results All groups presented a statistically significant difference for the THI, VAS, and HINT pre and postintervention. In the case of the HINT, only pink noise presented a significant difference. However, in the comparation among groups there was no significant difference. Conclusion The present study made it possible to conclude that the four noises were equally effective in relieving tinnitus, with no statistically significant differences between the analyzed groups.

“…Among the non-drug therapies, Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) is recognized as a treatment with positive results, as described in the literature 22 . TRT, created by Pawel Jastreboff in 1990, is a technique in which the patient uses devices called sound generators that reduce the perception of tinnitus 23,24 . The technique consists of two steps.…”

Introduction: One of the treatments currently available for the remission of tinnitus, when associated with hearing loss is the use of hearing aids with sound generator. Such treatment is based on the capability that the human brain has to get used to a new sound over another. Objective: To describe the results found in a group of people who have undergone treatment with sound generators. Method: Audiologic follow-up protocols of 25 adult subjects with hearing loss and complaint of tinnitus were analyzed. It was applied: free field audiometry with hearing aids, Visual Analog Scale to determine the degree of annoyance of the tinnitus and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory to assess tinnitus impact on the quality of life before and after treatment. Results: after the use of hearing aids there was significant improvement in hearing thresholds; there was a significant reduction in the degree of annoyance caused by tinnitus; there was a significant reduction of tinnitus and, consequently, on the quality of life of the respondents. Conclusion: This study allowed the verification that the use of hearing aids with sound generator is a good resource for the treatment of tinnitus associated with mild to moderately severe hearing loss.
