Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficacy of family-oriented customized sound therapy in patients with tinnitus in the absence or presence of hearing loss, and analyze the effects of related factors by sound therapy. Methods We retrieved electronic medical records from March 2019 to March 2022 from four hospitals in Sichuan province, and conducted a retrospective cohort study to analyze data on 212 patients with tinnitus who received family-oriented customized sound therapy. The demographic, hearing loss characteristics, and the tinnitus handicap inventory scores before and after treatments were extracted. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors associated with efficacy. Results The effectiveness of family-oriented customized sound therapy for all patients with tinnitus and hearing loss was 43.87%. Patients treated for more than 12 months(57.4%)had a significantly higher percentage of improvement than those treated for less than 12 months(31.5%)with the odds ratio(OR)of 2.93(95%CI: 1.67-5.14). The multivariable regression analysis showed that there was significant difference in treatment cycles with an OR of 2.23(95%CI: 1.09-5.00)and the association of age with an OR of 1.03(95%CI: 1.01-1.09). Conclusion Family-oriented customized sound therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and annoyance in patients with tinnitus. Treatment period is the main factor associated with the efficacy of family-oriented customized sound therapy. Clinicians are thus advised to adopt family-oriented customized sound therapy for patients diagnosed with different types of hearing loss and tinnitus.
