Trial of Management of Chronic Tinnitus by Sound Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Efficacy of Sound Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Their Combination in Management of Chronic Tinnitus
clinical trial: The main aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Sound Therapy, both individually and in combination, in the management of patients with chronic subjective tinnitus and to evaluate their impact on decreasing tinnitus severity, psychological wellbeing and quality of life.
Patients will be randomly divided into three groups:
- Group A: patients will receive Sound Therapy.
- Group B: patients will receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
- Group C: patients will receive Combined CBT + Sound Therapy.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Because of the multifactorial nature of tinnitus, its effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach. While there is no single pullet mechanism of cure, current treatment strategies primary focus on reducing tinnitus related perception and minimizing its associated distress through auditory and psychological interventions.
Among these approaches, is the Sound Therapy which aims to decrease the contrast between tinnitus and related neural activity by introducing external sounds, which facilitates habituation and reducing tinnitus perception .
In contrast, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the patient's cognitive and emotional reaction to tinnitus by modifying maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, there by improving coping strategies and reducing tinnitus-related distress (Andersson, 2011). Recent evidence suggests that combining both modalities may provide superior outcomes compared to either approach alone, highlighting the potential value for integrated treatment strategies in tinnitus management (Hall et
