Abstract

Background: Tinnitus is a frequent symptom in cochlear implant (CI) patients. Many studies have shown that a CI leads to a significant change in the perception of tinnitus.

Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of CI on tinnitus in patients with Unilateral Cochlear Implant (UCI), Bilateral Cochlear Implant (BCI), and Bimodal Stimulation (BMS).

Material and methods: A survey was administered online to CI patients. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score was calculated. Emotional, functional, and catastrophic subscales scores were calculated. The intensity and annoyance of tinnitus were graded using a scale from 1 to 10.

Results: 130 participants represented the study group; the Average THI score was 38.3 (SD: 26.3) in UCI, 32.4 (SD 25.8) in BCI users, and 42.5 (SD 28.2) in BMS: no significant difference was found among the three groups. CI users for less than 1 year showed significantly higher THI scores compared to CI users for more than 5 years (p = .0275). The intensity and annoyance of tinnitus significantly decreased with the CI on compared to the CI off condition.

Conclusions and significance: Taken together, our findings support CI's efficacy in reducing the perception of tinnitus. No significant differences were evident between unilateral and bilateral electrical stimulation in terms of tinnitus improvement.

耳蜗植入和双峰刺激对耳鸣的影响:一项跨国调查。

背景:耳鸣是人工耳蜗(CI)患者的常见症状。许多研究表明，CI导致耳鸣感知的显著变化。目的:本研究的目的是评估CI对单侧人工耳蜗(UCI)、双侧人工耳蜗(BCI)和双峰刺激(BMS)患者耳鸣的影响。材料和方法:对CI患者进行在线调查。计算耳鸣障碍量表(THI)评分。计算情绪、功能和灾难分量表得分。耳鸣的强度和恼人程度用1到10分进行分级。结果:130名受试者代表研究组;UCI组THI平均评分为38.3 (SD: 26.3)， BCI组为32.4 (SD: 25.8)， BMS组为42.5 (SD: 28.2)，三组间差异无统计学意义。使用CI少于1年的患者THI评分明显高于使用CI超过5年的患者(p = 0.0275)。与关闭耳鸣相比，打开耳鸣时耳鸣的强度和恼人程度显著降低。结论和意义:综上所述，我们的研究结果支持CI在减少耳鸣感觉方面的疗效。单侧和双侧电刺激在耳鸣改善方面无明显差异。
