“…The only intervention performed with patients was the fitting of hearing aids; no tinnitus-specific counseling was provided. Patients with hearing loss and tinnitus were divided into two groups; one received a brief motivational interviewing program (including open questions, reflective listening, summaries, and affirmations) as a counseling model included in the hearing aid fitting process, and the other received standard practice (with conventional hearing rehabilitation, fine-tuning of amplification, and functional evaluation) (Zarenoe et al, 2016).…”

Patients with tinnitus benefited from hearing aid rehabilitation. The observed differences in cognitive function were unexpected, and there were larger score improvements on the Reading Span test in the hearing loss and tinnitus group than in the hearing loss group. Patients with tinnitus and hearing loss may receive extra benefit in terms of cognitive function following hearing aid rehabilitation.

Purpose The aim of the study is to conduct a meta-analysis examining the impact of motivational interviewing (MI) on hearing aid (HA) use compared with standard care. Research Design The research design is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cochrane ENT, Central, Medline, Web of Science, ICTRP, and ClinicalTrials.gov electronic databases were searched. Inclusion criteria consisted of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 1988 and 2018 that compared MI to standard care. Study Sample The study sample consists of four RCTs, investigating a total of 176 patients. Data Collection and Analysis RevMan 5.3 and a random effect model were used for analysis. Results The standardized mean difference in data-logged hours of HA use was not statistically significant (0.34 [95% confidence interval or CI: −0.10, 0.78; p = 0.13]). The mean difference for user-reported outcomes on the International Outcome Inventory—Hearing Aids of 0.41 [CI: −1.00, 1.82; p = 0.57] was also not significant. Conclusion There is no current evidence that MI significantly improves HA use or user-reported outcomes. However, there were limited studies included in this review and further research is indicated.

“…In summary, out of the 16 studies described above, nine studies showed significant improvements in tinnitus perception (Araujo and Iório 2016; Cabral et al 2016; Haab et al 2019; Hodgson et al 2015; Shekhawat et al 2014; Yakunina et al 2019; Yokota et al 2020; Zarenoe et al 2017; Zarenoe et al 2016), while four studies did not report significant tinnitus relief (Marcrum et al 2020; McNeill et al 2012; Peltier et al 2012; Strauss et al 2015). The other three studies did not test whether hearing aids’ use leads to tinnitus relief (Andersson et al 2011; Shekhawat, Searchfield, Kobayashi, et al 2013; Shetty and Pottackal 2019).…”

“…It was recommended more recently to have a washout period of a few days between the stimulation sessions because the impact of multiple tDCS sessions on tinnitus being non-linear in nature (Shekhawat et al 2018). Zarenoe et al (2016) looked also into the optimization of hearing aids for tinnitus relief by adding motivational interviewing (MI) to their protocol. This pilot RCT included 50 patients with tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss, but four patients dropped out due to dissatisfaction of hearing aid amplification.…”

Background Tinnitus, the perception of a sound in absence of an external auditory source, can significantly impact ones' quality of life. As tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, hearing aids have been proposed for tinnitus relief in literature for more than 70 years. While there is a long history of clinical work and research on this topic, there is a need for recent literature to be reviewed and guide decision making in tinnitus management. Objective The aim of this scoping review is to provide an update of the available evidence on hearing aids for tinnitus, focusing on the effect of sound amplification, to draw conclusions for clinical practice and identify gaps in the field. A consultation exercise was included to discuss current issues that practitioners and carers themselves face but remain under-researched. Design This scoping review was conducted based on the six-stage framework of Arksey et al. (2005). Studies were included if they investigated hearing aids for tinnitus and were published after 2011. Databases of PubMed and Scopus were explored on the 16th of November 2020. The search was limited to English manuscripts. A total of 28 primary research studies were selected. Results Positive results of hearing aids for tinnitus relief were shown by 68 % of the studies, whereas 14 % demonstrated no change in tinnitus perception. As the quality of the evidence across studies was variable, no consensus can be reached regarding the use of hearing aids as a treatment for tinnitus. Nevertheless, recent studies were more likely to focus on optimizing the effect of hearing aids and better predicting which tinnitus patients benefit from hearing aids. The experts stated that the findings were in agreement with their view on the scientific evidence and they emphasized the importance of reaching consensus. Conclusions The majority of the studies supported the use of hearing aids for tinnitus relief. Hence, there was some scientific support for it, but the quality of evidence was questioned. Stronger methodology in future studies is needed to reach consensus and support clinical guidelines development.

Motivational Interviewing as an Adjunct to Hearing Rehabilitation for Patients with Tinnitus: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

Abstract: Tinnitus handicap scores decrease to a greater extent following brief MI than following SP. Future research on the value of incorporating MI into audiological rehabilitation using randomized controlled designs is required.
