“…A research highlighted that the practice of physical activities is a determining factor for a lesser negative impact of the tinnitus among the elderly, possibly because it promotes the wellbeing and diminishes the discomfort sensation. 20 In the analysis of THI classification, a higher number of individuals with impact considered negligible and mild corroborates other national studies, 22 but differs from others 2,23,24 that observed a greater number of individuals with negligible, mild and moderate discomfort. As in our study sample was composed of adult and elderly individuals, it is believed that this data can be taken into consideration, once the elderly can be more resilient, being able to adapt faster to unfavorable situations.…”

“…19 The low education level of the participants is similar to the other national research and is a predominant characteristic in the country, and are taken into consideration when planning activities and programs for this age group. 19 The THI score was similar to the study mentioned previously, where part of the sample was also composed of elderly that practice physical activities, 20 but inferior to other studies that evaluated adult and elderly individuals with tinnitus. 2,21 Physical activity is beneficial to the individuals evaluated.…”

Introduction Tinnitus is a symptom that affects mainly the elderly and can negatively influence their quality of life. Objective The objective of our study is to evaluate the existence of a relationship between the quality of life and the impact caused by tinnitus in elderly individuals, considering the age and gender variables. Method We conducted a cross-sectional study in elderly people of both genders who participate in the extension activities at the university. The evaluation was composed of anamnesis and WHOQOL-OLD instruments, to evaluate the quality of life, and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) for the evaluation of the tinnitus impact. Result We evaluated 36 elderly individuals with an average age of 68.6 ± 6.8 years old, 72.2 % of them were women. We verified that most of the subjects classified their tinnitus as weak (44.4%) or medium (36.1%). The score average in the THI was 20 points, with predominant classification of tinnitus impact as negligible (41.7%) or mild (30.6%). In the WHOQOL-OLD, the average score was 15.6 ± 1.6 points (total score). The negative correlation between the THI score and the WHOQOL-OLD score was found in the sensory domain operation and total score. Conclusion The results obtained in the study prove that the quality of life of the elderly individuals evaluated is related to a discomfort caused by the tinnitus.

Objective: to develop an educational tool in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), in a website format, to supply information on tinnitus, additional content on hearing and to provide access links to other websites related to speech therapy and audiology, so as to promote public health. Methods: an experimental, descriptive study, involving, in its construction, 6 stages elaborated as follows: planning, adaptation, collection of testimonies, inclusion of content, review and dissemination. Results: the site was titled "Do you have tinnitus?" It was subdivided into others: "Home", "Tinnitus?" "Types of tinnitus," "Main causes," "What to do?" "Main forms of treatment," "Tips to relieve tinnitus," "Prevention," "News," "Testimonials," "About your hearing," "What is hearing loss?" "What are speech therapy and audiology?" "Other sites," "Contact" and "About." Illustrations and videos were inserted, and the information contained in any material was classified with easy readability. Conclusion: it was possible to develop a website entitled “Do you have tinnitus?” available at the electronic address: https://vocetemzumbido.wixsite.com/home, providing general information about tinnitus, in addition to additional information on hearing.

“…It can be either objective or subjective and is usually differentiated based on the person's overall history, in the physical examination, and audiogram 6 . Classifying the type, quality, and intensity of tinnitus is useful to its assessment and treatment -which may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, tinnitus retraining therapy, sound therapy, hearing aids, cochlear implants, pharmacotherapy, and brain stimulation [6][7][8][9][10][11] .…”

Purpose: to verify whether there is a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, participating in the Pró-Mestre project. Methods: a cross-sectional study with a sample of 90 teachers, mean age of 47.70 years, who responded to the Craniocervical Dysfunction Index (CDI), to verify the craniocervical posture, the analog visual scale (AVS), and the Portuguese adaptation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), to investigate tinnitus and its impact on the quality of life. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, by adopting a significance level lower than 0.05. Results: out of the 90 teachers, 18 (20%) had tinnitus. There was a statistically significant difference between the sensation of tinnitus, according to the AVS and the craniocervical posture (CDI) in teachers (p <0.001). There was also an association between tinnitus complaint and right-rotation range of motion, with age and right lateral tilt being independent factors, regarding teachers' tinnitus sensation. In the correlation of the THI (total and domains), there was an association with cervical mobility, only in the left inclination. Conclusion: since a statistically significant difference was found between the subjective sensation of tinnitus and the craniocervical posture with a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, these aspects should be considered in the assessment of teachers presented with tinnitus, as well as further studies with a population of teachers, healthy adults, in order to increase the knowledge on the subject.
