“…Ten studies matched their test and control groups for age or the difference was not statistically significant (Andersson et al, 2000(Andersson et al, , 2009(Andersson et al, , 2013Dornhoffer et al, 2006;Rossiter et al, 2006;Stevens et al, 2007;Muluk et al, 2010;Gabr et al, 2011;Heeren et al, 2014;Jackson et al, 2014). These studies implicated an impact of tinnitus upon cognitive function.…”

“…Heeren et al (2014) employed a test specifically investigating the interaction between different attention networks. Three studies employed predetermined combinations of tests to assess either multiple aspects of cognitive function or the interaction between different networks (Muluk et al, 2010;Gabr et al, 2011;Heeren et al, 2014). Ten studies used multiple tests to assess different aspects of cognitive function, however, the rationale for the combinations were not clearly described.…”

“…Ten studies used multiple tests to assess different aspects of cognitive function, however, the rationale for the combinations were not clearly described. Only two studies justified their specific choice of test (Gabr et al, 2011;Heeren et al, 2014). Four studies used event related potential (ERP) recordings (Tables 1 & 2).…”

“…Four studies used event related potential (ERP) recordings (Tables 1 & 2). Thirteen studies concluded that tinnitus had an impact upon cognitive function, however, only five quantified the degree of impairment: one as small (Cuny et al, 2004), two as subtle (Hallam et al, 2004;Rossiter et al, 2006), one as minor (Gabr et al, 2011), and one as significant (Dornhoffer et al, 2006). Two studies commented that result variation complicated quantifying the cognitive impact (Andersson et al, 2000;Andersson, 2002).…”

“…Five studies did not report assessing hearing thresholds (Andersson et al, 2000(Andersson et al, , 2005Dornhoffer et al, 2006;Heeren et al, 2014;Jackson et al, 2014). Of the remaining six studies, Gabr et al (2011) failed to discuss the impact of hearing loss on cognition when concluding that the tinnitus group had an overall cognitive impairment, and five did not report assessing hearing thresholds.…”

Objective: To systematically review and analyse experimental outcomes of studies exploring the impact of tinnitus upon cognitive function and their implications for clinical management of invasive tinnitus. Design: A systematic and descriptive review. Study sample: Eighteen studies were identified investigating the impact of tinnitus on cognitive function. Results: The 18 studies evaluated cognitive function using 24 different objective behavioural tests, nine electrophysiological recordings, one oculomotor test, and one self-report questionnaire. The studies spanned 18 years and revealed numerous interactions potentially contributing to the cognitive difficulties frequently reported by people with invasive tinnitus. The studies indicate a clear association between tinnitus and aspects of cognitive function, specifically the executive control of attention. Conclusions: Tinnitus impairs cognitive function by way of impact upon executive control of attention. Clinical management of patients reporting tinnitus and cognitive difficulties requires an understanding of the reciprocal relationship between tinnitus and cognitive function, with additive effects of anxiety, depression, and somatic cognitive bias. Further study is required to establish the impact of advancing age, hearing loss, anxiety, depression tinnitus duration, and distress upon cognitive function in people with invasive tinnitus.
