Abstract

Objective: To analyze the advantages and application value of tinnitus multielement integration sound therapy(T-MIST) in the diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus.Method: Collect 172 patients with subjective tinnitus and 54 non-tinnitus subjects, record history through T-MIST, observe the distribution of the tinnitus patients, an illness population characteristics, precise detection in patients with tinnitus related status indicators and analysis of gender, age, hearing loss, and the correlation of frequency of hearing loss and tinnitus, at the same time in surgical treatment and analysis of its curative effect. Result: The incidence of hypertension, sleep disturbance, diabetes, chronic noise exposure, rhinitis, colds and cervical spondylosis during tinnitus was high, and the frequency of tinnitus and hearing loss were high. There was no statistically significant difference between tinnitus and gender, age and hearing loss(P>0.05). As for the bivariate correlation analysis of tinnitus frequency and hearing loss frequency, tinnitus frequencywas positively correlated with hearing loss frequency(r =0.545). The effective rate of acoustic T-MIST treatment was 64.5%. Conclusion: T-MIST can record the patients' medical history synchronously, accurately detect their tinnitus and hearing condition, and conduct targeted treatment, which is more comprehensive and accurate than traditional treatment..
