Patients with Tinnitus: Their Perspective on Sound Generators
The study highlighted uncertainties regarding the overall perceived benefits of short-term ST, with results influenced by initial noise hypersensitivity, hearing loss, and noise appreciation. Future research should examine the benefits of ST after controlling for these variables and compare the effects of different types of tailored sound on each dimension of tinnitus. Understanding how noise physiologically modulates tinnitus both during and after exposure is crucial to better counsel patients on what to expect.
