Main Article Content
More than 600 million people worldwide are reported to experience tinnitus. Approximately 20% of people with permanent subjective tinnitus present significant discomfort, interfering negatively in their quality of life, inducing depressive states. There are different intervention strategies for the management of tinnitus, including acoustic stimulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of passive acoustic stimulation on tinnitus severity and quality of life in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Tinnitus Disability Inventory (THI). Descriptive historical cohort study including patients >18 years with chronic subjective tinnitus who received management with passive acoustic stimulation between 2017-2018. Patients were administered VAS and THI before, during and after treatment. Significant changes (p<0.05) between medians were evident in two of the three VAS domains and in all pre- and post-treatment domains of THI. In post hoc tests, differences (p<0.05) were found between the medians of scores at baseline and at three months and between scores at baseline and at six months in all of the domains and in the total THI scale score. Passive acoustic stimulation generated changes in tinnitus-generated disability. It is suggested to complement treatment approaches with strategies that also favor memory, attention and awareness mechanisms to increase the effectiveness of the interventions.
