Abstract: Objective

To explore the therapeutic effect of complex sound therapy on decompensated tinnitus with different frequencies.

Methods

One hundred and twenty-four patients with decompensated tinnitus for more than 6 months were admitted to the otolaryngology clinic. Following ear and audiology examinations, patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received combined acoustic therapy with background sound, while the control group received combined acoustic therapy alone for 30 days. According to the patient′s tinnitus frequency, the experimental group was further divided into low-, medium-, and high-frequency subgroups. All the patients were evaluated before and after treatment using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS).

 Results

THI and SAS scores significantly decreased after treatment in both the groups. There was no significant difference in THI scores between the groups. However, SAS scores were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. Post-treatment THI scores were significantly lower in the low-frequency subgroup than in the high-frequency subgroup.

 Conclusion

Combined acoustic therapy with or without background sound can improve decompensated tinnitus symptoms. Combined acoustic therapy with background sound can improve decompensated tinnitus-associated anxiety symptoms and is, particularly, helpful for symptomatic relief in patients with low-frequency tinnitus.

Key words: Decompensated tinnitus, Complex sound, Background sound, Frequency
