Sound and music therapies demonstrated no substantial improvement in tinnitus. Studies investigating these interventions provided inconclusive conclusions. Additional research is warranted.
Tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) demonstrated significant results on a long-term basis for patients with tinnitus; however, TRT failed to show significant improvement on tinnitus severity scales (i.e., tinnitus questionnaire, tinnitus functional index, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory). Additional research is warranted.
