Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted delivery of healthcare, economic activity, and affected social interactions. Identifying supporting those most by the is required. purpose this study was to determine impact on individuals with tinnitus identify mediating factors. Methods: This a mixed-methods exploratory cross-sectional study, using data collected via an online survey from 3,103 48 countries. greatest representation North America (49%) Europe (47%) other counties were only...
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate work productivity and need for recovery in patients with unilateral severe-to-profound hearing loss (UHL). Methods This study assessed productivity, after risk long-term sick leave on the use of validated questionnaires among 50 adults UHL. Two cognitive tests were conducted to potential effects functioning productivity. Results Patients UHL reported reduced increased work, these outcomes being higher than those by healthy controls previous studies. The...
Tinnitus is a complex symptom requiring thorough multidisciplinary assessment to construct an individual's tinnitus profile. The Antwerp University Hospital hosts tertiary clinic providing intensive, care in the form of combinational psychological treatment with either Retraining Therapy (TRT)/Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) or TRT/eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS), physical (in cases somatic influence...
Contradictory results have been reported for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as treatment tinnitus. The recently developed high-definition tDCS (HD tDCS) uses smaller electrodes to limit the excitation desired brain areas.The study consisted of a retrospective part and prospective part, aiming compare 2 electrode placements explore effects HD by matched pairs analyses.Two groups 39 patients received dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or right supraorbital-left temporal...
Tinnitus is a highly prevalent symptom affecting 10–15% of the adult population. It often affects patient quality life and frequently causes distress. When subjective tinnitus can be elicited by somatosensory system cervical spine or temporomandibular area it termed somatic tinnitus. The first aim current study to investigate effect best evidence conservative disorder (TMD) treatment on in patients with co-existence TMD oral parafunctions compared no treatment. second identify subgroup that...
Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a perception of sound absence overt acoustic stimulation. In some cases, tinnitus can be influenced by temporomandibular somatosensory input, then called (TST). It is, however, not entirely known if orofacial treatment decrease severity. The purpose this study was to evaluate effect on complaints patients with TST.Adult TST were included, and all received information advice about conservative consisting physical therapy, and, case grinding, occlusal...
Background While there is no cure for tinnitus, research has shown that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) effective in managing clinical sequelae. Although traditional CBT labor-intensive and costly, new online consultations may improve accessibility. Moreover, promise an engaging conversational agent, or a “chatbot,” delivering conversation-like manner allowing users to work through complex situations with the guidance of virtual coach. Currently, little examining possible hybrid model...
Pulmonary infections by gram-negative organisms are important in cystic fibrosis (CF). Aminoglycosides (AG) often part of the treatment regimen. However, they a well-known cause ototoxicity. Even minimal hearing impairment children could have future impact on functional well-being.We aimed to investigate progression sensorineural loss (SNHL) over several years pediatric CF patients, and identify risk factors, such as use AG, including both intravenous (IV) inhaled AG.
Objective: Many tinnitus patients report cognitive deficits such as concentration and attention difficulties. The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess functioning in using a standardized test battery, the repeatable battery for assessment neuropsychological status adjusted hearing impaired individuals (RBANS-H). Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Participants: Twenty-eight chronic 28 control participants, matched sex, age, loss, education...
Successful orofacial treatment can reduce tinnitus severity in patients with somatic (ST). However, it is still unclear to what extent the degree of reduction temporomandibular disorders (TMD) actually contributes decrease after treatment. Therefore, aim this study was analyze mediating effect TMD pain on improvement multidisciplinary treatment.A total 80 moderate severe ST attributed region, were recruited from a tertiary clinic. At baseline, randomly assigned group or control group. Both...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed as a potential intervention for subjective tinnitus, but supporting evidence remains limited. We aimed to investigate the effect of anodal high-definition tDCS left temporal area and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on tinnitus severity. This double-blind randomized controlled trial included 77 patients (age range 18-79, 43 male) with chronic their primary complaint. Thirty-eight subjects received six consecutive sessions...
Subjective tinnitus that is influenced by the somatosensory system called (ST). When ST related to temporomandibular area, multidisciplinary orofacial treatment can reduce severity. It is, however, unknown if we predict this positive outcome. The aim of study look for prognostic indicators a outcome after in patients with ST.Patients were included when they diagnosed temporomandibular-related and received maximum 18 sessions during 9-week program. Predictors identified using univariate...
