“…The THI was 51 ± 17 [12-80] with 75.7% of the patients at grade 3 or above. The VAS score for the annoyance of the tinnitus was 6 ± 1.7 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], and the VAS score for its loudness was 6 ± 1.6 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Patients with hearing loss and tinnitus can benefit from hearing aids depending on the precise determination of the hearing loss and tinnitus characteristics. However, tinnitus is not always associated with hearing loss . In daily practice, the pure tone hearing threshold is measured at octave or half‐octave intervals from 250 through 8000 Hz .…”

“…Interestingly when comparing the effectiveness of these devices no significant differences have been observed between them (Tutaj, Haare, and Sereda 2017). Neuromodulation is based on the theory that the pathophysiology of tinnitus is the sub-optimal involvement of the central nervous system.…”

Objectives: To understand how individuals with tinnitus perceive their sound generating devices help them in managing their tinnitus Design: A qualitative interview based study employing grounded theory methodology to establish a theory as to the mechanisms that sound therapies contribute to coping with tinnitus. Ten National Health Service patient participants (who had been issued with sound generating devices from an Audiology department in England) participated in in depth interviews. Results: This study identified that sound therapies helped create a sense of escapism and control. In addition, the process of obtaining devices created a sense of validation of the patient and their tinnitus. These mechanisms restore the previously disrupted harmony between the self and body. Conclusion: Sound generating devices can assist coping through a number of mechanisms. There is no evidence that they ablate or remove perception of tinnitus. This study contributes novel theory based on patient accounts as to the potential benefits of sound generating device use.

“…Thus, recent studies have been developed with the aim of helping professionals who attend patients with tinnitus at their clinics for symptom management. 5,6 The etiological diagnosis is important, and, due to the multifactorial etiology of tinnitus, an audiologist is required from the assessment to the intervention of the symptom. 7,8 Due to this concern, several studies have been developed with the purpose of hearing health promotion.…”

Abstract Introduction Tinnitus is a prevalent symptom in audiological clinics, and the speech therapist participates in the assessment, diagnosis, and intervention of tinnitus. A range of studies have been developed with the aim to promote auditory health, and telehealth is an option for this purpose. Objective The aim of the present study was to develop and assess a virtual platform for tinnitus management for speech therapists. Methods The present study provided a distance-learning-course, with the aid of Portal do Zumbido, available in the following electronic address: zumbido.fob.usp.br. Infographics were available for download, and modules were made to comprise the introduction to the symptoms, assessment, and intervention for tinnitus. Results Speech therapists of different regions of Brazil received an e-mail invitation to participate and to assess the platform, 46 of whom registered. From the 46 speech therapists registered, 38 assessed the virtual platform with the aid of a questionnaire about the theoretical content and then answered a motivational research sheet (MRS). The speech therapists correctly answered 90% and 100% of the questions in the questionnaire and in the MRS, respectively, which may indicate that the professionals positively absorbed the content; thus, the content was considered to be impressive when the MRS was analyzed. Conclusion Portal do Zumbido was developed and is available for access in the following electronic address: zumbido.fob.usp.br. Furthermore, the platform received a positive assessment by the speech therapists who participated in the present study.
