“…The THI questionnaire found a reduction in postimplantation scores compared to the preimplantation scores. 5,21,24,28,33,34,36 Each score mentioned here is followed by the SD in parentheses. The preimplantation scores varied from 25.4 (17.3) to 79.6 (7) and the postimplantation scores from 2.6 (4.8) to 35.2 (27.3).…”

“…This resulted in the fact that most of the included studies showed a high or moderate risk of bias. However, in most of the included studies, tinnitus was the major inclusion criterion for cochlear implantation in patients with SSD, 5,20,21,24,26,27,33,34,36 whereas in studies with bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus was mostly evaluated as a side effect. Nevertheless, we were able to demonstrate in this systematic review that the mean tinnitus questionnaire scores were decreased after cochlear implantation in all included studies.…”

“…23 There are different studies reporting cochlear implantation as an effective treatment option for tinnitus in single-sided deaf patients. 5,21,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] However, most studies investigated only small sample sizes, and for this reason, reviews are needed to pool data. Some reviews on this topic already exist, [39][40][41][42][43][44] but the latest one is from 2015.…”

Objectives This systematic review provides an overview of the available studies (published by January 29, 2018) with descriptive data analysis about the influence of cochlear implantation on tinnitus in patients with single-sided deafness (SSD). Data Sources PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Review Methods Original studies about the influence of cochlear implantation on tinnitus, measured with different tinnitus questionnaires or visual analog scale, in patients with SSD were included. The pre- and postimplantation tinnitus scores of the included studies were extracted for the further systematic review. Results The systematic search yielded 1028 studies. After evaluating titles, abstracts, and full texts, 1011 of these were dismissed. From the remaining 17 studies, 4 showed a low directness of evidence or high risk of bias and were therefore excluded. Due to the nature of cochlear implantation in SSD, only cohort studies and no randomized trials exist, which limits the evaluation in a systematic review. Generally, the mean tinnitus questionnaire scores decreased after cochlear implantation in these 13 studies with a total of 153 patients. The most widely used tinnitus questionnaire was the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. In these studies, 34.2% of patients demonstrated complete suppression, 53.7% an improvement, 7.3% a stable value, and 4.9% an increase of tinnitus, and none of the patients reported an induction of tinnitus. Conclusion This review shows a clear improvement of tinnitus complaints after cochlear implantation in patients with SSD. Therefore, tinnitus might be considered as an additional indication for cochlear implantation in SSD.

Introduction Tinnitus has been shown to decrease the quality of life of a person. Being a less understood domain of the medical field, there are no definitive established therapies that can be applied to all patients of tinnitus. The current study is an effort to evaluate the effectiveness of the Tinnitus Relief device in the patients of tinnitus. Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of Tinnitus Relief device TRx in treatment of tinnitus. Methods A prospective study involving 67 participants suffering from tinnitus was conducted in a clinical setup at Delhi, Chandigarh, and Mumbai. These participants were subjected to pure tone audiometry (PTA) and an interview using Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaire. These participants were advised to use Tinnitus Relief device TR201, TR301, TR401 for more than 6 to 10 months. Improvement in tinnitus in terms of percentage, questions pertaining to THI, and overall improvement in life (subjective) were evaluated after discontinuation of the use of the device in each participant. Results It was found that there was significant improvement in mean THI score, following treatment with Tinnitus Relief TRx. This device was also able to completely alleviate 5 out of 12 associated complaints of tinnitus. No association could be found between the use of Tinnitus Relief therapy and hearing loss. Conclusion Tinnitus Relief TRx can emerge as an effective tool for treatment of the tinnitus and can improve the life of the sufferer.

ObjectiveTo report our experience for adults undergoing cochlear implantation (CI) for single‐sided deafness (SSD).MethodsThis is a retrospective case series for adults with SSD who underwent CI between January 2013 and May 2021 at our institution. CNC and AzBio speech recognition scores, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ12), datalogging, and the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life (CIQOL)‐10 Global measure were utilized.ResultsSixty‐six adults underwent CI for SSD (median 51.3 years, range 20.0–74.3 years), and 57 (86.4%) remained device users at last follow‐up. Compared to pre‐operative performance, device users demonstrated significant improvement in speech recognition scores and achieved peak performance at six months post‐activation for CNC (8.0% increased to 45.6%, p < 0.0001) and AzBio in quiet (12.2% increased to 59.5%, p < 0.0001). THI was decreased at 6 months post‐implantation (58.1–14.6, p < 0.0001), with 77% of patients reporting improved or resolved tinnitus. Patients demonstrated improved SSQ12 scores as well as the disease‐specific CIQOL‐10 Global questionnaire. Duration of deafness was not associated with significant differences in speech recognition performance. Average daily wear time was positively associated with CNC and AzBio scores as well as post‐operative CIQOL‐10 scores.ConclusionsHerein we present the largest cohort of adult CI recipients with SSD with data on speech recognition scores, tinnitus measures, and SSQ12. Novel insights regarding the correlation of datalogging, duration of deafness, and CI‐specific quality of life (CIQOL‐10) metrics are discussed. Data continue to support CI as an efficacious treatment option for SSD.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 133:2362–2370, 2023
