Identification of Unique Tinnitus Subgroups Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA).
In Brief
An observational study for Tinnitus. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research study is to test a new way of measuring the severity of tinnitus using a tool called Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) of Tinnitus. We will compare the relationship with this tool with another widely used questionnaire. Previous studies we have done suggest there are different patterns of tinnitus bother; we plan to explore how often these patterns occur, and how many patterns of tinnitus bother there are. And lastly we want to test how reliable this type of testing is for measuring the amount of bother people experience from their tinnitus. Hypothesis 1: We will be able to identify 6 or more distinctive patterns of tinnitus. Hypothesis 2: EMA will provide a reliable method for more accurately capturing the amount of bother individuals have from tinnitus.
