Classification of tinnitus versus non-tinnitus hearing impaired subject fMRI data
Diagnosis of tinnitus, the perception of sound minus external stimulus, depends on self-report and there is currently no objective way to determine if a person has the disorder. Previous examinations of resting-state brain scan data combined with a priori knowledge in the form of suspect regions …

Vergleichende Evaluationsstudie zur Wirksamkeit des Tinnitus-Bewältigungs-Trainings und der Tinnitus-Retraining-Therapie
… wurde die Langzeit-Effektivität der Tinnitus-Retraining-Therapie (TRT), im Sinne von Jastreboff (1996a), mit dem Tinnitus-Bewältigungs-Training (TBT, Kröner-Herwig 1997), welches bereits evaluiert wurde, verglichen. Beide Therapieformen wurden außerdem mit einer einzelnen …

Passive Categorisation Training for Tinnitus Management
… While sound therapy (ST) is commonly used for tinnitus relief, tinnitus heterogeneity necessitates advancements in such conventional methods. This thesis evaluated tinnitus replica generation and role in tinnitus management, specifically within a novel effortless auditory categorisation-based …

Objective Measures of Tinnitus in Humans
Currently, the only means of assessing tinnitus and evaluating tinnitus treatments is by subjective measures (e.g. behavioral tests, questionnaires). Subjective methods, while important for clinical assessment, do not offer a reliable way to distinguish peripherally vs. centrally driven dysfunction …

Neural abnormalities underlying tinnitus and hyperacusis
Tinnitus, the ongoing perception of sound in the absence of a physical stimulus, and hyperacusis, the intolerance of sound intensities considered comfortable by most people, are two often co-occurring clinical conditions lacking effective treatments. This thesis identified neural correlates of …

Gnathologische Aspekte eines Tinnitus nach HWS-Schleudertrauma
… im Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtsbereich und einem Tinnitus nach einem HWS-Schleudertrauma. Von den 110 gutachterlich untersuchen Patienten litten 82 an einem Tinnitus und 23 an Beschwerden im Mund-Kiefer-Gesichtsbereich. Die Daten ergaben eine mögliche Notwendigkeit der Untersuchung im …

Tinnitus and Decreased Subcortical and Cortical Inhibition
<p>Background: The perception of tinnitus may be triggered by a reduction in inhibitory function in the central auditory nervous system. Evidence, primarily from invasive studies of animal models of tinnitus, indicates that these changes occur at both the subcortical and cortical level. Auditory …

Tinnitus, physical activity and improved quality of life: investigation of the neural correlates of tinnitus and potential treatment options
… are to (1) identify the neural correlates of tinnitus distress and successful habituation, and (2) investigate any relationship between physical activity and tinnitus distress. Subjective tinnitus, commonly referred to as ringing in the ears, is the perception of a sound without an external …

The psychophysical and physiological assessment of cochlear-origin tinnitus
A clinical evaluation protocol of cochlear-origin tinnitus that included psychological and physiological tests was proposed and administered to seven subjects. Among several components of the results, the combination of the Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission(DPOAE) level, Input/Output slope, …

An Investigation into Tinnitus in Adult Users of a Cochlear Implant and Methods for Determining Appropriate Sound Textures for Use in Sound Enrichment Tinnitus Therapy
Phantom auditory perceptions (tinnitus) are distressing for a significant proportion of individuals with a severe-to-profound hearing loss. The insertion and use of cochlear implants has been widely reported to lessen the impact of tinnitus in such cases; however, a review of the data shows that …

Invasive and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Strategies for the Treatment of Tinnitus
… related to the auditory system, including tinnitus and hyperacusis. Through animal studies, we have shown that the descending projections from primary auditory cortex to subcortical centers, particularly the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus, exhibit a precise spatial organization …

The relationship between tinnitus, cognitive performance and demands on the individual
… to identify possible cognitive decrements in tinnitus sufferers. In addition, a number of trait variables were measured in comparison to a matched control group. It was discovered that the tinnitus population did not differ in terms of any trait, yet still performed worse on a number of …

Changes in Tinnitus Perception Following Cochlear Implantation and Hearing Aid Use
… this literature review is to identify changes in tinnitus post cochlear implantation and post amplification. Primarily subjective, qualitative measures including the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire, the Tinnitus Reaction Questionnaire, and the Tinnitus …

Collaborative audiological and psychological intervention where tinnitus and hearing loss co-exist
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external sound source and is estimated to be experienced by 10-15% of the population. The majority of tinnitus patients present with some form of hearing loss and intervention aimed at reducing the effects of auditory pathology is indicated …

Noise-induced cochlear neuronal degeneration and its role in hyperacusis -- and tinnitus-like behavior
Perceptual abnormalities such as hyperacusis and tinnitus often occur following acoustic overexposure. Although such exposure can also result in permanent threshold elevation, some individuals with noise-induced hyperacusis or tinnitus show clinically normal thresholds. Recent work in animals has …
