Use of Some Relevant Parameters for Primary Prediction of Brain Activity in Idiopathic Tinnitus Based on a Machine Learning Application.

Introduction: Tinnitus is one of the most common complaints, distressing about 15-24% of the adult population. Because of its pathophysiology heterogeneity, no curable treatment has been attained yet. Even though a neuromodulation management technique based on the tinnitus network model is currently being developed, it has not yet worked because the most involved brain areas still remain unpredictable from the patient's individual clinical and functional profile.

Effect of tinnitus distress on auditory steady-state response amplitudes in chronic tinnitus sufferers.

Tinnitus is a bothersome disorder of primarily unknown etiology that affects a large number of people worldwide. Tinnitus distress is the most common clinical complaint by tinnitus sufferers because it strongly affects their personal and social life. Many studies have been carried out to determine the relation between tinnitus pathophysiology and electrophysiological findings such as the auditory steady-state response (ASSR).

Shannon entropy measures for EEG signals in tinnitus.

Background And Aim: Tinnitus is known as a common clinical symptom, and it comprehensively is essential to understand the underlying mechanisms. Time-varying EEG is considered an appropriate technique to explore brain regions and related activities, and nonlinear methods may extract the irregularities in the EEG signal and gather more expanded information. Therefore, we studied Shannon Entropy in EEG raw data obtained from normal subjects and compared it to data from chronic tinnitus sufferers before and after an intervention.

The hypothetical relation between the degree of stress and auditory cortical evoked potentials in tinnitus sufferers.

Tinnitus, known as" the ringing in the ears," is a heterogeneous auditory disorder. Many studies have shown that tinnitus perception and its correlations are not limited to the activity of a single brain area, but there are several networks involved in tinnitus generation, perception, and interpretation. One of the most important complications and comorbidity of tinnitus is tinnitus distress.
