DOWNLOAD EBOOKTinnitus and oversensitivity to sound are common and hitherto incurable, distressing conditions that affect a substantial number of the population. Pawel Jastreboff's discovery of the mechanisms by which tinnitus and decreased sound tolerance occur has led to a new and effective treatment called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Audiologists, ENT specialists, psychologists and counsellors around the world currently practise this technique, with very high success rates. TRT, the treatment developed by the authors from the model, has already proved to be the most effective and most widely practised worldwide. This book presents a definitive description and justification for the Jastreboff neurophysiological model of tinnitus, outlining the essentials of TRT, reviewing the research literature justifying their claims, and providing an expert critique of other therapeutic practices.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book presents a knowledge discovery based approach to build a recommender system supporting a physician in treating tinnitus patients with the highly successful method called Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. It describes experiments on extracting novel knowledge from the historical dataset of patients treated by Dr. P. Jastreboff so that to better understand factors behind therapy's effectiveness and better personalize treatments for different profiles of patients. The book is a response for a growing demand of an advanced data analytics in the healthcare industry in order to provide better care with the data driven decision-making solutions. The potential economic benefits of applying computerized clinical decision support systems include not only improved efficiency in health care delivery (by reducing costs, improving quality of care and patient safety), but also enhancement in treatment's standardization, objectivity and availability in places of scarce expert's knowledge on this difficult to treat hearing disorder. Furthermore, described approach could be used in assessment of the clinical effectiveness of evidence-based intervention of various proposed treatments for tinnitus.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMeasuring the efficacy of tinnitus treatment is challenging due to the subjective nature of tinnitus perception. Tinnitus treatment has expanded over the past 20 years with the development of new tinnitus treatment protocols, such as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). Clinical researchers have proposed various measures to assess treatment outcomes. However, there has not been one consensus approach in measuring various aspects of tinnitus intervention using TRT. The purpose of this study is to: 1) create a consensus survey covering all of the relative tinnitus topics that could be used to assess tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) treatment outcomes and 2) initially administer the survey to determine treatment outcomes of TRT at the UNCG Tinnitus Clinic. Approximately 300 patients have been seen at the UNCG Tinnitus Clinic over the past ten years. For this study, a survey was developed and administered to UNCG tinnitus patients in the mail. Survey results indicated that there was a significant improvement in both the treatment effect and participant's perception of treatment after receiving TRT. Overall, factors such as TRT category, age, gender of participants, and the number of appointments attended by participants did not play a significant factor in outcome measures. Factors including the loudness of patient's tinnitus, ability to concentrate, relax, be in a quiet room, interact pleasantly with others, sleep, tolerate environmental sounds, ignore their tinnitus and levels of irritability, stress, anxiousness, and perception of their tinnitus being a problem were significantly changed/improved due to TRT treatment. Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT) was demonstrated to be a successful approach in the treatment of severe and/or chronic tinnitus. This investigation showed improvements related to the emotional reactions caused by tinnitus that can affect the way one carries themselves throughout their day-to-day life. Future research will help to validate this survey so that it can be used in different patient populations and in other areas of the country.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe effectiveness of tinnitus maskers were investigated. Previous studies have suggested that tinnitus maskers may provide tinnitus relief, but the number of patients who benefit from tinnitus maskers is unclear. Eighteen subjects, 44 to 68 years of age, were selected to participate in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive either a tinnitus masker or a placebo device. After six weeks, subjects were fitted with the alternative devices. Success was determined primarily by comparing ratings of the Iowa Tinnitus Questionnaire. Results indicated no significant differences between the tinnitus masker and placebo devices. These results suggest that tinnitus maskers are not successful in the treatment of tinnitus and efforts should be made to investigate other forms of tinnitus treatment.
