Abstract:
The use of masking for tinnitus has been a primary method of treatment of patients with severe tinnitus since 1976. Over 5,000 patients have been treated in the Tinnitus Clinic at Oregon Health Sciences University since that time. The paper discusses the results of management of new patients followed for one year from January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1995. Of the 373 patients who could be accurately followed and evaluated for this period of time, 180 patients were recommended for tinnitus maskers or tinnitus instruments, and 83 were provided with masking tapes. The results of this study, along with the overall success of the tinnitus program utilizing masking, are discussed.
