Summary

Using resting state positron emission tomography (PET), our goal was to analyze the metabolic and functional neural changes that occur after 6 months of effective hearing aid (HA) use. Besides, we correlate those changes with behavioral results. Patients with chronic tinnitus and untreated sensorineural hearing loss were tested pre-HA fitting, and at 6 months post-HA fitting.

Conditions

  • Chronic Tinnitus

Interventions

DEVICE

hearing aid fitting

All patients were fitted bilaterally with hearing aids for hearing loss compensation. . Apart from different HAs used, device selection followed strict criteria to fit hearing loss demands, patient profile, resources and algorithms recommended for tinnitus patients.
