Interaction of tinnitus suppression and hearing ability after cochlear implantation.
CONCLUSION: The study suggests six-month CI activation can be effective for suppressing tinnitus. The tinnitus loudness may affect patients' satisfaction with the use of CI. PMID: 28641038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Connectivity of precuneus to the default mode and dorsal attention networks: A possible invariant marker of long-term tinnitus
In this study, our goal was to identify resting state functional connectivity alterations that consistently appear across tinnitus subgroups. We examined two sources of variability in the subgroups: tinnitus severity and the length of time a person has had chronic tinnitus (referred to as tinnitus duration). Data for the current large-scale analysis of variance originated partly from our earlier investigations (Schmidt et al., 2013; Carpenter-Thompson et al., 2015) and partly from previously unpublished studies. Decreased correlations between seed regions in the default mode network and the precuneus were consistent across...

Performance of the Tinnitus Functional Index as a diagnostic instrument in a UK clinical population.
CONCLUSION: The TFI was confirmed to cover multiple symptom domains, measuring a multi-domain construct of tinnitus, and satisfies a range of psychometric requirements for a good clinical measure, including having excellent reliability, stability over time and sensitivity to individual differences in tinnitus severity. However, a modified seven-factor structure without the Auditory subscale (TFI-22) is recommended for calculating a global composite score for UK patients. Using patients' experience and Receiver Operator Characteristic analysis, a grading system was presented which identifies the distinct grades of tinnitus ...

Sound therapy and aural rehabilitation for tinnitus: a person centred therapy framework based on an ecological model of tinnitus.
CONCLUSIONS: The intent of this framework is to help guide audiologists managing tinnitus. The framework has been useful in our clinic as illustrated by a case study. The benefits of this approach relative to standard care needs to be independently ascertained. Implications for Rehabilitation Tinnitus is a common oto-neurological complaint that when severe can be very disabling. Tinnitus is very heterogeneous as a consequence of this no one treatment is suitable for everyone. The sound therapy and aural rehabilitation for tinnitus framework is designed to assist audiologists in clinical planning that addresses individual n...

Audiologist-Guided Internet-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Adults With Tinnitus in the United Kingdom: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Guided (using audiological support) iCBT for tinnitus resulted in statistically significant reductions in tinnitus distress and comorbidities (insomnia, depression, hyperacusis, cognitive failures) and a significant increase in quality of life. These effects remained stable at 2-months postintervention. Further trials to determine the longer term efficacy of iCBT to investigate predictors of outcome and to compare iCBT with standard clinical care in the United Kingdom are required. Registered at clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02370810 on 5/03/2015.

Analysis of the relation among tinnitus handicap inventory, tinnitometry, and the analogical visual scale in the evaluation of tinnitus
Conclusion There was a significant correlation between the values measured by the tinnitus handicap inventory, visual analogical scale (annoyance) and tinnitometry (loudness) in the evaluation of tinnitus. The selection of any one of the three evaluative methods for tinnitus investigation provides different dimensions of the tinnitus and complements the others.

Tinnitus, Depression, Anxiety, and Suicide in Recent Veterans: A Retrospective Analysis
Conclusions: The study results do not confirm clinical and anecdotal reports that tinnitus could be related to suicide among Veterans. However, tenets from rehabilitation psychology suggest that the onset of chronic impairment or disability does not predict an individual’s subsequent psychological states; other personal attributes may be more influential. Health care professionals, such as audiologists and psychologists, should be cognizant of the associations between tinnitus and mental health issues and be prepared to address the psychological needs of individuals who have tinnitus.

Health Care Utilization and Mental Health Diagnoses Among Veterans With Tinnitus.
Conclusion Findings suggest that Veterans who are diagnosed with tinnitus have more health care utilization and are more frequently diagnosed with mental health disorders than Veterans who are not diagnosed with tinnitus. This suggests a need for coordinated tinnitus and mental health care services for Veterans in the VA system of care. PMID: 31022360 [PubMed - in process]

Investigation of the effect of cochlear implantation on tinnitus, and its associated factors.
Conclusions: Post-CI tinnitus improvement was seen in 76% of those with pre-CI tinnitus; however, the low risk of new or aggravating tinnitus should be considered, and reasonable expectations for tinnitus reduction should be built into the pre-CI assessment.

Insomnia, Anxiety and Depression in Adult Cochlear Implant Users With Tinnitus
Objective: Determine the prevalence of clinical insomnia and its associations with anxiety, depression, and tinnitus in adult cochlear implant (CI) users. Design: Self-reported information on tinnitus, sleep, and demographic variables was collected from adult CI users (n = 127). Tinnitus presence, its persistence, related emotional distress, and difficulties with sleep were assessed using questions from the UK Biobank study (www.ukbiobank.ac.uk). Tinnitus-related handicap was assessed using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. Clinical insomnia symptoms were characterized using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and...

What Makes Tinnitus Loud?
Introduction: Tinnitus loudness is a subjective measure, and it does not directly reflect either tinnitus severity or the impact on daily life. Nevertheless, loud tinnitus may be the most frequent clinical complaint of tinnitus patients. Factors contributing to the loudness of the phantom sound have rarely been studied. We evaluated both matched and self-rated loudness in a large sample of patients with tinnitus and analyzed the influencing factors among demographic, hearing, and tinnitus characteristics. Methods: Two hundred ninety-nine patients with chronic tinnitus were enrolled. We evaluated the matched loud...

Auditory experience, for a certain duration, is a prerequisite for tinnitus: lessons from subjects with unilateral tinnitus in the better-hearing ear
Prog Brain Res. 2021;260:223-233. doi: 10.1016/bs.pbr.2020.07.013. Epub 2020 Aug 14.ABSTRACTTinnitus has traditionally been considered an otologic disorder; however, recent advances in auditory neuroscience have shifted investigations toward the brain. The Bayesian brain model explains tinnitus as an auditory phantom percept. According to the model, the brain works to reduce environmental uncertainty, and thus the absence of auditory information due to hearing loss may cause auditory phantom percepts, i.e., tinnitus. As in animal studies, our recent human observational study revealed the absence of ipsilesional tinnitus in...

Coping With Tinnitus During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusions These findings provide suggestions on how to better support those with tinnitus at a time when health care is undergoing rapid changes. Findings can be used by stakeholders, clinical practitioners, and tinnitus support services to devise ways to work more effectively together to improve access to patient-driven, suitable, accessible, and evidence-based support.
