Summary
Subjective tinnitus is linked to cognitive difficulties, impacting attention and memory. This meta-analysis quantitatively synthesizes data to explore the relationship between tinnitus and cognitive performance.
Area of Science:
- Audiology
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Psychology
Background:
- Subjective tinnitus is a common condition associated with depression, sleep disturbance, and concentration difficulties.
- Cognitive performance, including attention and memory, may be impaired in individuals with tinnitus.
- Previous reviews have reported mixed findings on the tinnitus-cognition link, potentially due to varying methodologies and lack of a theoretical framework.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively review the literature on subjective tinnitus and cognitive performance.
- To quantitatively synthesize data using meta-analysis to determine the association between tinnitus and cognitive performance.
- To apply an established theoretical taxonomy to the investigation of tinnitus and cognitive function.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols.
- Inclusion of all study designs with no date restrictions.
- Meta-analysis of correlation for the association between subjective tinnitus and cognitive performance in adults (≥18 years).
Main Results:
- This section is to be filled after the study's completion.
Conclusions:
- This section is to be filled after the study's completion.

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

01:20Random and Systematic Errors
15.1K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

01:09Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups
6.0K
Substituents on the benzene ring that direct an incoming electrophile to undergo substitution at the meta position are called meta directors. All meta directors either have a positive charge on the atom directly bonded to the ring or a partial positive charge. These groups function by withdrawing electrons from the ring through inductive and resonance effects. Consider the carbocation intermediates formed upon the addition of an electrophile on nitrobenzene at the...

01:17Systematic Sampling Method
13.3K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. Data are the result of sampling from a population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
