Abstract

Introduction: Sound therapy has been studied in a group of 30 patients experiencing hearing loss and tinnitus.

Material and methods: Patients wore a BTE hearing-aid (TCI-COMBI by Siemens), which, in addition to acoustic amplification, can generate a broadband noise. Comparison of self-questionnaires completed by the patients during a 12 week period with amplification alone to a 12 week period with amplification and noise.

Results and conclusions: His study demonstrates that the level of suffering is significantly reduced during the period with added noise.
