Background: Tinnitus is a common problem for which many treatments have been proposed and implemented. Patients tend to seek renewed treatment after treatment failure. The aim of this descriptive study was to describe a group of consecutive tinnitus patients in terms of prior treatments received. Methods: Sixty-nine tinnitus patients seeking treatment were asked about prior treatments and completed the short Tinnitus Effect Questionnaire (TEQ). Four groups were obtained: No treatment (n = 24), acupuncture (n = 19), relaxation (n = 13), and other treatments (n = 13). Six subscales were derived from the TEQ measuring helplessness, capacity for rest, acceptability of change, emotional effects, hearing speech and sounds, and ability to ignore. The groups were compared with multivariate analyses of covariance and Tukey’s post-hoc tests. Results: Results showed minor differences between the groups, the exception being that the untreated group showed more acceptability for change. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of the fact that patients may have tried at least one treatment when entering the audiology clinic. Controlled studies are needed in order to avoid the spread of nonspecific and non-effective treatments in the management of tinnitus.

In einer Studie [46] wurde die psychische Struktur von Patienten mit Hörsturz untersucht.…”

“…Nach Hoffmann [32] sollen bei bis zu 2/3 der HNO-Patienten u. a. funktionelle und psychosomatische Stö-rungen bestehen. Diese Erkenntnis hat zunehmend zu einer interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit von Ärzten, Psychologen, Audiologen und Grundlagenforschern geführt und impliziert die Einbeziehung psychologischer Maßnahmen zur Behandlung einer Reihe von Krankheiten, die bei Patienten des HNO-Arztes vorkommen [14,23,31,35,39,43,44,46].…”
