| Abstrakt: | Objective: Prospective study of the effectiveness of treatment in patients with hyperacusis by means of an open-field technique of acoustic treatment with nature sounds. Material and Methods: 34 patients were referred to a tinnitus and hyperacusis clinic at a private Otorhinolaryngology Department. Clinical and exploratory ENT studies were performed. Open-field nature sounds were applied by means of a compact disk for half an hour each day during a period of several weeks. Results: By the end of treatment, the 34 patients studied had reached normal discomfort thresholds in a maximum of 9 weeks. Conclusions: The progressive open-field application of nature sounds has been effective in eliminating hyperacusis in a short space of time. |
