Disabling tinnitus in 27 patients was treated in an experimental setting with two different type of therapy aiming at the development of coping behaviour. One was focused on behavioural control procedures, while the other aimed at more cognitive control methods such as distraction. The results of the two forms of therapy were compared with each other and with observations of the untreated control subjects. Assessments of subjective loudness, discomfort from tinnitus and controllability were made on analogue scales and at a questionnaire follow-up. Psychoacoustic measures such as personal loudness units (PLU) were used in connection with these self-recordings and for evaluation of treatment effects. The results confirmed favourable reports on behavioural methods in tinnitus. However, no differences were found between therapies. The results are discussed in the light of the coping and adaptation theory.
在一项实验环境中，针对27名耳鸣患者采用了两种不同类型的疗法来消除耳鸣，旨在培养应对行为。一种疗法侧重于行为控制程序，而另一种则旨在采用更多诸如分散注意力等认知控制方法。将这两种治疗方法的结果相互比较，并与未接受治疗的对照组受试者的观察结果进行比较。通过模拟量表和问卷调查随访对主观响度、耳鸣不适和可控性进行评估。在这些自我记录过程中使用了诸如个人响度单位（PLU）等心理声学测量方法，并用于评估治疗效果。结果证实了关于耳鸣行为疗法的良好报告。然而，两种疗法之间未发现差异。根据应对和适应理论对结果进行了讨论。
