“…Regarding the psychoacoustic measures researched, the data from both groups did not differ and corroborate the greater occurrence of high-pitched tinnitus, as well as the region of hearing loss in the case of GI subjects (21) . Although a recent study demonstrated similar pitch perception results around the 6000Hz frequency (25) , the fact that the high frequencies were not included in the present research may justify the fact that the mean value found here, in both groups, is considered lower compared to other works, ranging from 10 to 14000Hz (26) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo comparar as características clínicas do zumbido e interferência na qualidade de vida em indivíduos com e sem perda auditiva associada, bem como discutir a associação de mensurações quantitativas e instrumentos qualitativos de avaliação. Método estudo quantitativo, descritivo e de corte transversal aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em pesquisa (nº 973.314/2016 CAEE: 41634815.3.0000.0106). Foram comparadas as respostas da avaliação psicoacústica do zumbido (pesquisa de intensidade, frequência, nível mínimo de mascaramento e limiar de desconforto para tom puro e fala), bem como questionário Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) e escala visual analógica (EVA) de 15 sujeitos portadores de zumbido e perda auditiva periférica (grupo GI) e 16 indivíduos normo-ouvintes (grupo GII). Resultados O escore médio na EVA e THI no GI foi, respectivamente, de 5,1(+1,5) e 42,3(+18) e no GII de 5,7(+2.6) e 32,7(+25), sugerindo incômodo moderado no GI e moderado/leve no GII (p>0,005). Verificou-se correlação moderada entre o THI e EVA apenas no GII. Na avaliação psicoacústica, observaram-se diferenças significantes entre os grupos referentes à medida da loudness (*p=0,013) e ao nível mínimo de mascaramento (*p=0,001). Conclusão a perda auditiva parece não se constituir em um fator determinante para o maior ou menor impacto do zumbido na qualidade de vida do sujeito. Já as diferenças encontradas entre os grupos, referentes às medidas psicoacústicas, podem ser justificadas pela presença do dano coclear em si. A mensuração objetiva do zumbido, independentemente da presença ou não da perda auditiva periférica, caracteriza-se como um importante instrumento complementar às medidas de auto avaliação.

Abstract Introduction Tinnitus is a prevalent symptom in audiological clinics, and the speech therapist participates in the assessment, diagnosis, and intervention of tinnitus. A range of studies have been developed with the aim to promote auditory health, and telehealth is an option for this purpose. Objective The aim of the present study was to develop and assess a virtual platform for tinnitus management for speech therapists. Methods The present study provided a distance-learning-course, with the aid of Portal do Zumbido, available in the following electronic address: zumbido.fob.usp.br. Infographics were available for download, and modules were made to comprise the introduction to the symptoms, assessment, and intervention for tinnitus. Results Speech therapists of different regions of Brazil received an e-mail invitation to participate and to assess the platform, 46 of whom registered. From the 46 speech therapists registered, 38 assessed the virtual platform with the aid of a questionnaire about the theoretical content and then answered a motivational research sheet (MRS). The speech therapists correctly answered 90% and 100% of the questions in the questionnaire and in the MRS, respectively, which may indicate that the professionals positively absorbed the content; thus, the content was considered to be impressive when the MRS was analyzed. Conclusion Portal do Zumbido was developed and is available for access in the following electronic address: zumbido.fob.usp.br. Furthermore, the platform received a positive assessment by the speech therapists who participated in the present study.

“…Structural equation modeling and analysis of a moment structures (AMOS) were applied to measure relationships among THI scores, HL, PA, NA, depression, anxiety, and stress. Scholes & Ramakrishnan, 2015;Suzuki, Suzuki, Onishi, & Penido, 2018). Additional studies have described that tinnitus patients faced more PP over the years because of the fear of ambiguous noise (Cima et al, 2018;Schmidt et al, 2018;Scholes & Ramakrishnan, 2015).…”

The current study is the first substantial investigation to determine whether tinnitus perception mediates the relationship between physiological and psychological problems (PP). Simple random sampling, with a cross-sectional design, was used to collect data from 100 adult patients (males = 60; females = 40) diagnosed with chronic tinnitus. Subjects were approached through various public and private hospitals, at their respective Audiology and Ear, Nose, and Throat departments in Rawalpindi and Lahore, Pakistan. Participants underwent complete physiological and psychological tinnitus evaluations, such as tinnitus matching and audiometry, as well as assessments using standardized tinnitus instruments. The mediation analyses revealed an indirect relationship with hearing loss (HL) and PP (e.g., anxiety, stress, depression, mood swings) in tinnitus patients. These findings suggest that physiological problems such as tinnitus and HL might contribute to the development of psychological symptoms.

Psychoacoustic classification of persistent tinnitus

Abstract: Classifying persistent tinnitus as pure tone or noise, present in high or low frequency and establishing its different characteristics allow us to know its peculiarities and the effects of this symptom in patients' lives.
