초록

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine to compare the effects of sound therapy depending on air- and bone-conduction transducers (ACT and BCT). Methods: Participants were twenty adults who have diagnosed as subjective tinnitus in this study. All participants conducted a sound therapy using the level of mixing point for three months. Participants were randomly assigned to different groups, such as the ACT group, or BCT group. To identify the effects of sound therapy, Korean tinnitus primary function questionnaire (K-TPFQ) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were administered at pre- and post-treatment (3 months) sessions. Results: In a result of mixed model analysis of variance, all subcategories for VAS showed significant decrements of scores to the measurement session (pre- vs. post-session), but there was no different between groups. Also, the overall and all subcategories for K-TPFQ showed significant decrements of scores to the measurement session (pre- vs. post-session), but there was no different between groups. Conclusion: As a result of this study, the sound therapy using portable hearing devices with transducers is effective for subjective tinnitus sufferers. Because the transducer type does not significantly affect effectiveness of the sound therapy, therefore, audiologists or hearing professionals may recommend transducers, which the tinnitus sufferer prefers when they consider sound therapy.
