Summary

Among the theories of tinnitus generation, there is that of central neuroplastic changes, which reports the association between changes and reorganization that occur in central auditory pathways and impacts on associated areas due to the altered neural signal. Auditory training modifies these altered pathways through auditory exercises, which provoke positive neuroplasticity. Musical auditory training is a proposal to stimulate auditory, cognitive and metalinguistic skills with activities focused on musicality. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effect of musical auditory training (MAT) on the neuroplasticity of the auditory system and the perception of tinnitus disorder in young adults.

Conditions

  • Tinnitus

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Treinamento Auditivo Musical

Auditory training with a focus on musicality. The skills trained will be: figure-ground for instrumental sounds, sequential figure-ground, directed listening, duration of sounds, frequency of sounds, rhythm (temporal structuring), auditory closure and audiovisual memory, with a focus on temporal processing, working memory and attention selective on an increasing scale of difficulty. The frequency ranges of instrumental sounds are from 200 to 4000 Hz, composed of the following instruments: guitar, vibraphone, piano, flute and drum.

BEHAVIORAL

Placebo

This placebo approach will be to demonstrate the influence of musical exposure without exercises with structuring auditory skills and compare with the TAM group. The song Sonata for two pianos in D major, K448, by Mozart, will be used. The films selected were: Cirque Du Soleil, entitled "The Journey of Man"; Chaplin collection with the following films: "Modern Times", "The Great Dictator", "In Search of Gold" and "Footlights". The choice of the order of the films will be random, as proposed by Freire (2009).
