Abstract
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of tinnitus masking on cognitive functioning and the efficacy of tinnitus retraining therapy in reducing the severity of tinnitus handicap.
Method: The study recruited 15 subjects (mean age = 47.1 ± 11.5) with unilateral chronic tinnitus (6 participants with right-ear tinnitus and 9 participants with left-ear tinnitus); and mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Conducted in two phases, Phase 1 comprised case history, audiometric testing, tinnitus matching, and THI-Bangla assessment. Phase 2 involved P300 administration followed by a 60-session tinnitus retraining therapy (online-offline modality), concluding with post-therapy P300 and THI-Bangla assessments. Therapy outcomes were evaluated by improvements in P300 latency and amplitude and THI-Bangla scores.
Results: A significant improvement observed post-therapy, with reductions in mean P300 latency for both left (p < 0.001) and right (p < 0.001) ears. Mean P300 amplitude also increased significantly post-therapy for left (p < 0.001) and right (p < 0.001) ears. THI scores also declined substantially (p < 0.001), with a post-therapy mean THI score of 17.80 (SD = 4.64) for males and 12.20 (SD = 3.42) for females, revealing a significant difference (p = 0.033).
Conclusion: These findings support the efficacy of tinnitus retraining therapy in reducing tinnitus related distress and enhancing cognitive processing, as evidenced by P300 improvements.
期刊介绍：
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress.
IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015. The Journal published quarterly accepts articles in general Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and various subspecialities such as Otology, Rhinology, Laryngology and Phonosurgery, Neurotology, Head and Neck Surgery etc.
The Journal acts as a window to showcase and project the clinical and research work done by Otolaryngologists community in India and around the world. It is a continued source of useful clinical information with peer review by eminent Otolaryngologists of repute in their respective fields. The Journal accepts articles pertaining to clinical reports, Clinical studies, Research articles in basic and applied Otolaryngology, short Communications, Clinical records reporting unusual presentations or lesions and new surgical techniques. The journal acts as a catalyst and mirrors the Indian Otolaryngologist’s active interests and pursuits. The Journal also invites articles from senior and experienced authors on interesting topics in Otolaryngology and allied sciences from all over the world.
The print version is distributed free to about 4000 members of Association of Otolaryngologists of India and the e-Journal shortly going to make its appearance on the Springer Board can be accessed by all the members.
Association of Otolaryngologists of India and M/s Springer India group have come together to co-publish IJOHNS from January 2007 and this bondage is going to provide an impetus to the Journal in terms of international presence and global exposure.
