<p>This study compares the outcomes of traditional face-to-face tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) with mobile-based TRT in India. TRT, comprising directive counseling and sound therapy, aims to help patients habituate to tinnitus. Traditional TRT involves extensive in-person sessions, whereas mobile-based TRT employs interactive applications for weekly video counseling. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was used to assess tinnitus severity in two cases: Case 1 received conventional face-to-face TRT, while Case 2 received mobile-based TRT. Results indicate that mobile-based TRT is as effective as the traditional approach. After two months of therapy, Case 2 showed significant improvements in tinnitus and quality of life (QOL) due to convenient followups and self-monitoring. Mobile-based TRT is a promising alternative to face-to-face therapy.</p>

摘要

This study compares the outcomes of traditional face-to-face tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) with mobile-based TRT in India. TRT, comprising directive counseling and sound therapy, aims to help patients habituate to tinnitus. Traditional TRT involves extensive in-person sessions, whereas mobile-based TRT employs interactive applications for weekly video counseling. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was used to assess tinnitus severity in two cases: Case 1 received conventional face-to-face TRT, while Case 2 received mobile-based TRT. Results indicate that mobile-based TRT is as effective as the traditional approach. After two months of therapy, Case 2 showed significant improvements in tinnitus and quality of life (QOL) due to convenient followups and self-monitoring. Mobile-based TRT is a promising alternative to face-to-face therapy.
