Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:In this study, we aimed to explore a variation of the NTT standard protocol that would be more beneficial for those patients with hearing loss >50 dB HL in the worst ear (average hearing thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 KHz). STUDY SAMPLE:This study involved 26 subjects who had previously undergone NTT at a single private practice. DESIGN:Patients with high level of hearing loss were divided into two groups: Standard protocol group (SP) concluded the treatment following the standard NTT protocol proposed by the treatment's developers and Neuromonics guidelines. Extended protocol group (EP) was treated using a variation of the standard protocol, in which patients continued in stage 1 of the treatment for a prolonged time. Consistent with previously reported studies of the NTT, the tinnitus reaction questionnaire was used to assess tinnitus distress. Clinical outcomes for the two groups were analysed. RESULTS:Both groups achieved statistically significant improvement of their tinnitus distress. EP group achieved quicker clinical benefits when compared to the SP group. CONCLUSIONS:Extension of high stimulation period from two to four months may be beneficial for patients with higher level of hearing loss undergoing NTT.
