Summary
Prism adaptation may offer a novel treatment for tinnitus. This study found that adapting to optical prisms reduced tinnitus pitch and improved spatial awareness in a patient with chronic unilateral tinnitus.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Audiology
- Ophthalmology
Background:
- Tinnitus, a phantom auditory perception, presents significant treatment challenges.
- Unilateral tinnitus can impact spatial representation and sensorimotor tasks.
