Retraining Therapy

Tinnitus refers to the perception of ringing sounds in the ear that are not heard by others. Counseling plays a vital role in tinnitus intervention. Counseling provides correct information about tinnitus and hearing loss, corrects any misunderstandings related to tinnitus, and suggests precise alternative interventions for tinnitus. In this review, we aimed to examine the counseling contents in Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Tinnitus Activities Treatment (TAT) to identify information that could be useful for counseling approaches and contents for the various tinnitus intervention methods. We searched Web of Science, Embase, Science Direct, and PubMed for relevant articles. Of the 5,283 articles, 31 were included in the final review of counseling contents for TRT, CBT, and TAT. Based on our findings, we were able to summarize the main contents of counseling in TRT, CBT, and TAT. Although the contents of counseling may vary depending on the individuals with tinnitus, our review provided information that may help audiologists or hearing professionals further understand the fundamentals of counseling for each tinnitus intervention. Our review may serve as a guideline for tinnitus counseling according to tinnitus interventions.

Mindfulness Therapy

Mindfulness-based interventions are one of the recent techniques that have proven to be very useful in tinnitus management. Mindfulness therapy refers to experiencing the present, which helps control the attention system, which significantly contributes to getting relief from the adverse reactions due to tinnitus. Several systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials report relief from tinnitus perception even with the heterogeneity of the patients with mindfulness therapy. The different study designs and outcome measures reported similar results suggesting the efficacy of mindfulness-based training. Thus, psychologists and audiologists dealing with individuals suffering from tinnitus can attempt this technique in management. The mindfulness-based training can be combined with formal Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) approaches to enhance tinnitus treatment.

White Noise Generator

AbstractTinnitus retraining therapy has been heralded as a major advance in the alleviation of tinnitus perception. A cornerstone of this technique is to use white noise produced by a white noise generator (WNG) over a period of several months in order to assist the patient to habituate to their tinnitus. There are three factors which influence the frequency spectrum of the perceived noise such that the perception of white noise from a WNG is unlikely. These factors are the actual spectrum of the emitted noise, the ear canal resonance of the patient and the hearing sensitivity of the patient.Advocates of tinnitus retraining therapy state that white noise is the optimal stimulation to assist habituation of tinnitus. This paper demonstrates that this optimal situation is unlikely to be achieved and that this may account for the long periods needed for patients to achieve benefit from the technique. The development of devices that allow for the above factors to be countered is suggested.

A insônia é uma queixa frequente em pacientes com câncer de mama, e suas consequências podem causar impacto na qualidade de vida e no curso da doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura especializada sobre a relação entre insônia e câncer de mama, abordando definição, prevalência, fatores etiológicos e as consequências da insônia no contexto da neoplasia mamária, bem como os tratamentos para insônia nessa população. A busca da literatura ocorreu nos bancos de dados Scopus, Web of Science e SciELO, utilizando as palavras chaves: insomnia, sleep, breast cancer, treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy. Os estudos revisados demonstraram que a etiologia da insônia envolve fatores de predisposição, precipitação e perpetuação. Evidencia-se a importância da melhora na qualidade de sono em pacientes oncológicos, além de se indicar a combinação de terapia farmacológica e cognitivocomportamental no tratamento dos problemas de sono.

Introduction To determine if hearing augmentation and tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) helps in cases of Tinnitus with Noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) and does degree of hearing loss, severity or duration of tinnitus affect recovery  Materials and Methods A prospective study was done on 100 patients of NIHL with tinnitus from Jan 14-Jul 15. Degree of hearing loss was assessed. Tinnitus severity was scored on Tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) scale as Slight, Mild, Moderate, severe or catastrophic and patients were subjected to TRT. Patients scored after 1 year of TRT. A relation between tinnitus severity, duration and degree of hearing loss on recovery from tinnitus was analysed. Result 62 of the 100 patients improved following TRT. Discussion In 100 patients THI scores improved from a mean of 63.12 (SD-21.12) to 38.16 (SD-18.21). Mean difference between pre and post-intervention THI scores was 24.96 (SD-17.97). Improvement was significant in severe or profound hearing loss (P<.001). Tinnitus severity was slight, mild, moderate, severe or catastrophic on THI. Following TRT, 82.35% with Catastrophic, 70.96% with severe, 52.63% with moderate, 20% with mild tinnitus improved. 1 patient with slight tinnitus did not improve. Based on duration of tinnitus three groups made; 0-6 months, 6-12 months and >12 months. All groups showed improvement. Reduction in Post-TRT THI was significant but did not show any difference among groups. Conclusion TRT helps in tinnitus with NIHL particularly if hearing loss is severe. Severe or catastrophic tinnitus patients experience greater improvement. Duration of tinnitus has no impact.

Morbid Conditions

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve mental health. Insomnia is a frequent sleep problem that interferes with daily activities. It may play a role in the development of co-morbid conditions such as arterial hypertension. Many types of research, however, imply that CBT is a superior therapy with a better long-term effect. In this descriptive analysis, we retrospect the literature concerning CBT and insomnia. To retrospect the literature focusing on CBT and Sleep Quality. We searched the databases like Google scholar, pub med and Cochrane, and Embase, web of science with keywords (Cognitive behavioral therapy, Sleep quality, insomnia, physical therapy, and physiotherapist). We reviewed 104 articles out of which 25 studies were enrolled. We reviewed abstracts of 102 articles from which we shortlisted 85 articles. 85 articles were analyzed and reviewed in detail out of which 30 are cited in the present review. We found sufficient literature supporting the use of CBT to modify sleep quality or to deal with insomnia. However, there is ambiguity about the execution of this therapy among the clinicians. The literature focusing on the exact execution of CBT is needed which will make the clinicians incorporate this treatment in their day-to-day practice and benefit the patients.
