OBJECTIVE
Our study aimed to measure the effectiveness of using HA in reducing the disturbance caused by tinnitus.
METHODS
Study was designed as a within-subjects clinical trial. Nineteen patients with chronic tinnitus and untreated sensorineural hearing loss were under counseling, HA fitting and 6 months follow-up. Tinnitus assessment was performed with Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), pitch and loudness matching, and Minimum Masking Level measurements (MML).
RESULTS
following 6 months of HA use, a reduction in reported tinnitus and hearing handicap scales scores was observed both statistically and clinically. The pitch and loudness matching, as well as MML at the baseline and final evaluation were compared. MML's thresholds reduced significantly after 6 months of HA use.
CONCLUSION
Our study has provided evidence that HA fitting is a valuable treatment strategy for chronic tinnitus relief and associated hearing loss subtype of patient.
目的
本研究旨在测量使用 HA 减少耳鸣干扰的效果。
方法
研究设计为自身对照临床试验。19 名患有慢性耳鸣和未经治疗的感音神经性听力损失的患者接受咨询、助听器适配和 6 个月随访。耳鸣评估采用耳鸣残疾量表(THI)、视觉模拟量表(VAS)、音调和响度匹配以及最小掩蔽级测量(MML)进行。
结果
在使用 HA 6 个月后,报告的耳鸣和听力障碍量表评分均在统计学和临床上均有显著降低。比较了基线和最终评估时的音调和响度匹配以及 MML。在使用 HA 6 个月后,MML 的阈值显著降低。
结论
本研究提供了证据表明,助听器适配是缓解慢性耳鸣和相关听力损失亚型患者的一种有价值的治疗策略。
