Prevalence of Somatosensory Tinnitus in Veterans With Tinnitus.

Objectives: The primary objective was to estimate the prevalence of somatosensory tinnitus (ST) among Veterans with tinnitus.

Design: Three hundred four Veterans with tinnitus were phone screened for ST by performing and reporting on a series of head/neck/jaw maneuvers. A random sample of 12 individuals who screened positive and five who screened negative attended an in-person visit to confirm the presence/absence of ST.

Randomised controlled trial of interventions for bothersome tinnitus: Desyncra versus cognitive behavioural therapy.

Objective: Compare the relative efficacy of Desyncra and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Design And Study Sample: Sixty-one participants were randomly assigned to receive either Desyncra ( = 29) or CBT ( = 32). Randomisation included stratification regarding current hearing aid (HA) use.
