Daily Contributors of Tinnitus Loudness and Distress: An Ecological Momentary Assessment Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tinnitus is a heterogeneous condition which may be associated with moderate to severe disability, but the reasons why only a subset of individuals is burdened by the condition are not fully clear. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) allows a better understanding of tinnitus by capturing the fluctuations of tinnitus symptoms, such as distress and loudness, and psychological processes, such as emotional arousal, overall stress, mood, and concentration and how these variables interact over time. Whether any of those variables have an influence over the next day, that is, whether any of these variables are auto- or cross-correlated, is still unanswered.

Objectives

Assess whether behavioral and symptom-related data from tinnitus users from the TrackYourTinnitus (TYT)
