The Association Between Tinnitus Sensation-Level Loudness and Sleep Quality in Patients With Subjective Consecutive Tinnitus: A Mediation Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that tinnitus sensation-level loudness does not directly have an effect on sleep quality. However, it indirectly impacts sleep quality, mediated by SAS scores, SDS scores, the impact of tinnitus on life measured using the VAS, and self-reported tinnitus annoyance. As such, alleviating anxiety and depression in patients with tinnitus may result in reductions in their insomnia even if there is no reduction in tinnitus loudness. Importantly, otolaryngologists and other clinicians treating tinnitus should refer patients with tinnitus suffering from insomnia with comorbid depression or anxiety...

A Preliminary Analysis of the Clinical Effectiveness of Audiologist-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Delivered via Video Calls for Rehabilitation of Misophonia, Hyperacusis, and Tinnitus
CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary analysis suggests that CBT via video calls may be effective in reducing the impact of misophonia, hyperacusis, and tinnitus. However, this study did not have a control group, so its results need to be interpreted with caution.PMID:38651993 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJA-23-00254 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Comprehensive Characterization of Hearing Loss and Tinnitus in Military-Affiliated and Non-Military-Affiliated Individuals
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that while MIs may exhibit better or comparable listening abilities, they were significantly more affected by tinnitus than non-MIs. Furthermore, our study highlights the importance of assessing tinnitus-related distress across multiple dimensions, facilitating customization of management strategies for both MIs and non-MIs.PMID:38652004 | DOI:10.1044/2024_AJA-24-00010 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)
