ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of tinnitus consultation combined with multiple compound sound therapy in the treatment of chronic primary tinnitus.Methods40 patients with chronic primary tinnitus included in this study received tinnitus consultation combined with multiple compound sound therapy. They were given tinnitus consultation before and one month after treatment. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, all the cases were asked to finish the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 3 time points, i.e. before treatment, 1 month and 6 months of treatment.ResultsStatistic analyses revealed significant differences in both THI and VAS scores between time points before treatment and one month of treatment, before treatment and 6 months of treatment, as well as one month and 6 months of treatment, respectively (all P<0.05). Taking “reduction of the THI score more than or equal to 20” as effectiveness, the effective rates were 27.5% and 67.5% at 1 month and 6 months of treatment. As for Feldman tinnitus masking curve, most of them were overlapping type and convergent type, and the former had the best effect. The statistical analysis showed that VAS score and THI score were correlated at the beginning and 6 months of treatment（P<0.05）.ConclusionsWith extensive application value, tinnitus consultation combined multiple compound sound therapy may be a preferred method for the treatment of chronic subjective tinnitus. THI and VAS score system can be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect.
