“…The TOMI was developed by Dr. James Henry as a clinical tool to detect tinnitus onset or changes in the tinnitus percept during treatment. Portions of the TOMI were adapted from the TRT Initial Interview [43]. The TOMI is a 1-page instrument that can be completed within minutes.…”

Abstract-Prevention and rehabilitation of hearing loss and tinnitus, the two most commonly awarded service-connected disabilities, are high priority initiatives in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). At least 4,000 Veterans, most with significant hearing loss, will receive cisplatin this year, with more than half sustaining permanent hearing shift and nearly 40% developing new tinnitus. With improved survivability following cancer treatment, Veterans treated with cisplatin are approached with the dual goals of effective treatment and preserved quality of life. This article describes COMP-VA, a comprehensive ototoxicity monitoring program developed for VA patients receiving cisplatin. The program includes an individualized pretreatment prediction model that identifies the likelihood of hearing shift given cisplatin dose and patient factors. It supports both manual and automated hearing testing with a newly developed portable audiometer capable of performing the recommended procedures on the chemotherapy unit during treatment. It also includes objective methods for identifying outer hair cell changes and predicting audiogram changes using distortion-product otoacoustic emissions. We describe this program of evidence-based ototoxicity monitoring protocols using a case example to give the reader an understanding of how this program would be applied, along with a plan for future work to accomplish the final stages of program development.

Background: Tinnitus is a perception of an auditory sensation without the presence of an external sound. It has devastating impact on the quality of life and psychosocial aspect of the sufferer. Mechanisms of tinnitus not clear; however, its management include counselling, hearing aids, tinnitus masking, relaxation therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy and tinnitus retraining therapy. Objective: To conduct a scoping review to explore the role of counselling, hearing aids, tinnitus masking, relaxation therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy and tinnitus retraining therapy in India. To also provide an overview of efficacy of these approaches in tinnitus management. Research Design: Scoping review. Study Sample: Experimental studies, follow-up assessments, and reviews assessing tinnitus treatment approaches were identified as a result of an electronic database met search. Results: The evidence suggests that all tinnitus management programs have their unique benefits in the treatment of tinnitus. Given the confounding variables that include length of therapy, tinnitus severity and subject population, the overall level of evidence is equivocal. Nonetheless, the efficacy of CBT appears reasonably established and combined approach (masking + counselling + attention diversion) appears to be most promising for audiologists for future tinnitus management. A common ground of therapeutic elements was established and evidence was found to be robust enough to guide clinical practice. Conclusion: The use of more robust methodology with well-defined control groups, as well as randomization of clinical trials in future studies would increase the quality of evidence in the study of tinnitus management. Clinical recommendation: Combined therapies (masking + counselling + attention diversion) appear more appropriate in the treatment of tinnitus as the evidence is not sufficient to support a specific treatment method.

“…Some interventions for tinnitus attempt to change the perception of tinnitus from a negative stimulus to a neutral stimulus (e.g., Tinnitus Retraining Therapy [TRT] [13][14]) or to alter the cognitive distortions associated with having tinnitus (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT] [15][16][17]). Coping research suggests that trying to change an individual's perspective that an event is a negative or aversive stimulus does not have to be the focus of a coping intervention.…”

“…Researchers should consider creating coping interventions or using existing ones, such as CET [18], that specifically promote and teach the use of coping skills, especially for individuals who are facing stress from chronic impairments such as tinnitus. While some interventions for tinnitus, such as TRT [13][14]76] and Progressive Tinnitus Management (PTM) (which uses CBT [15][16][17]), may have components that teach coping skills, they include a focus on changing individuals' perspectives about stress (e.g., TRT's reclassifying negative stimuli to neutral stimuli or CBT's addressing cognitive distortions). Coping interventions typically do not attempt to alter individuals' perspectives on stress but instead attempt to build individuals' skills in understanding and managing different types of stress.…”

Abstract-This narrative article on coping with tinnitus has four primary objectives. First, theoretical perspectives about defining and categorizing coping are discussed. Second, an overview of the empirical research on coping with tinnitus is provided, focusing on how coping with tinnitus has been measured and on the trends that were found in research on coping with tinnitus. Third, the problems related to the current state of research on coping with tinnitus are highlighted. Fourth, suggestions are provided on ways that researchers can improve research on coping with tinnitus.
