- Diagnostic Criteria for Somatosensory Tinnitus: A Delphi Process and Face-to-Face Meeting to Establish Consensus(2018) MICHIELS, Sarah; SANCHEZ, Tanit Ganz; ORON, Yahav; GILLES, Annick; HAIDER, Haula F.; ERLANDSSON, Soly; BECHTER, Karl; VIELSMEIER, Veronika; BIESINGER, Eberhard; NAM, Eui-Cheol; OITICICA, Jeanne; MEDEIROS, Italo Roberto T. de; ROCHA, Carina Bezerra; LANGGUTH, Berthold; HEYNING, Paul Van de; HERTOGH, Willem De; HALL, Deborah A.Since somatic or somatosensory tinnitus (ST) was first described as a subtype of subjective tinnitus, where altered somatosensory afference from the cervical spine or temporomandibular area causes or changes a patient's tinnitus perception, several studies in humans and animals have provided a neurophysiological explanation for this type of tinnitus. Due to a lack of unambiguous clinical tests, many authors and clinicians use their own criteria for diagnosing ST. This resulted in large differences in prevalence figures in different studies and limits the comparison of clinical trials on ST treatment. This study aimed to reach an international consensus on diagnostic criteria for ST among experts, scientists and clinicians using a Delphi survey and face-to-face consensus meeting strategy. Following recommended procedures to gain expert consensus, a two-round Delphi survey was delivered online, followed by an in-person consensus meeting. Experts agreed upon a set of criteria that strongly suggest ST. These criteria comprise items on somatosensory modulation, specific tinnitus characteristics, and symptoms that can accompany the tinnitus. None of these criteria have to be present in every single patient with ST, but in case they are present, they strongly suggest the presence of ST. Because of the international nature of the survey, we expect these criteria to gain wide acceptance in the research field and to serve as a guideline for clinicians across all disciplines. Criteria developed in this consensus paper should now allow further investigation of the extent of somatosensory influence in individual tinnitus patients and tinnitus populations.
- Tinnitus and sound intolerance: evidence and experience of a Brazilian group(2018) ONISHI, Ektor Tsuneo; COELHO, Claudia Couto de Barros; OITICICA, Jeanne; FIGUEIREDO, Ricardo Rodrigues; GUIMARAES, Rita de Cassia Cassou; SANCHEZ, Tanit Ganz; GURTLER, Adriana Lima; VENOSA, Alessandra Ramos; SAMPAIO, Andre Luiz Lopes; AZEVEDO, Andreia Aparecida; PIRES, Anna Paula Batista de Avila; BARROS, Bruno Borges de Carvalho; OLIVEIRA, Carlos Augusto Costa Pires de; SABA, Clarice; YONAMINE, Fernando Kaoru; MEDEIROS, Italo Roberto Torres de; ROSITO, Leticia Petersen Schmidt; RATES, Marcelo Jose Abras; KII, Marcia Akemi; FAVERO, Mariana Lopes; SANTOS, Monica Alcantara de Oliveira; PERSON, Osmar Clayton; CIMINELLI, Patricia; MARCONDES, Renata de Almeida; MOREIRAW, Ronaldo Kennedy de Paula; TORRES, Sandro de Menezes SantosIntroduction: Tinnitus and sound intolerance are frequent and subjective complaints that may have an impact on a patient's quality of life. Objective: To present a review of the salient points including concepts, pathophysiology, diagnosis and approach of the patient with tinnitus and sensitivity to sounds. Methods: Literature review with bibliographic survey in LILACS, SciELO, Pubmed and MEDLINE database. Articles and book chapters on tinnitus and sound sensitivity were selected. The several topics were discussed by a group of Brazilian professionals and the conclusions were described. Results: The prevalence of tinnitus has increased over the years, often associated with hearing loss, metabolic factors and inadequate diet. Medical evaluation should be performed carefully to guide the request of subsidiary exams. Currently available treatments range from medications to the use of sounds with specific characteristics and meditation techniques, with variable results. Conclusion: A review on tinnitus and auditory sensitivity was presented, allowing the reader a broad view of the approach to these patients, based on scientific evidence and national experience.
