Cognitive Performance in Chronic Tinnitus Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the RBANS-H

Conclusions: The current study successfully employed the RBANS-H to provide a broader view on cognitive functioning in tinnitus patients. The results showed a specific negative influence of tinnitus on verbal fluency, which could be related to a deficit in executive cognitive control. Moreover, patients experiencing louder tinnitus performed worse on specific subtests concerning attention.
