Summary

In this experiment, patients with chronic pure tone tinnitus were divided into three groups to receive auditory stimulation, somatosensory stimulation, vestibular stimulation and combined stimulation, in order to find an effective way to treat tinnitus

Detailed description

120 patients with chronic pure tone tinnitus over 6 months were randomly divided into 6 groups, one group was given auditory stimulation, one group was given somatosensory stimulation, one group was given auditory stimulation + somatosensory stimulation, one group was given auditory stimulation + vestibular stimulation, the last group was given auditory stimulation + somatosensory stimulation + vestibular stimulation.

Conditions

• Tinnitus
• Acoustic Stimulation
• Somatic Stimulation
• Vestibular Stimulation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	multiple sensory stimulation	The patients were recruited to record their medical history, and the hearing level, tinnitus indicators, vestibular function and tinnitus disability indicators were tested. Then the patients were randomly divided into six groups. They received the corresponding stimulation 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. After the last stimulation, the above tests were repeated immediately, one week later and three months later.
