“…No paper was found that had applied the QT scale. Knobel et al 40 applied this scale for evaluating patients with tinnitus and auditory hypersensitivity, and described good results. This demonstrates that further studies using the QT scale should be undertaken in larger and different populations to increase the scope of these findings.…”

Esses trabalhos, além de evidenciarem a melhora dos sintomas dos participantes, foram enfáticos ao afirmarem que os exercícios realizados não produziram piora em nenhum dos parâmetros estudados e em nenhum dos participantes.…”
