Abstract

Tinnitus is a common manifestation, the tinnitus prevalance in adults is 25.3% (50 million people); Prolonged tinnitus greatly affects the patient's quality of life, especially sleep, anxiety and depression, thereby affecting the quality of work, especially those requiring concentration. Up to now, the etiology, related factors and pathogenesis of this manifestation are still hypothesized and therefore there are many approaches to deal with such as sound therapy, hearing aids, counseling, etc. psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, surgery, internal medicine, transcranial electric-magnetic stimulation, trans-tympanic injection, acupuncture,... Through an overview study of tinnitus treatment methods We collected 36 articles that met the research criteria. The methods of treating tinnitus mentioned include: Medicine (drugs to enhance cerebral blood circulation, increase the ability of brain cells to use oxygen, including the inner ear, stabilize chemical signals in the brain, reducing the possibility of intravascular thrombus formation and increasing blood flow to the brain regions); Transtympanic injection (Corticosteroids, OTO-313, AM-101...); Psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy, tinnitus retraining, meditation...); Sound therapy (noise generator, masker, music therapy); Use hearing aids; Neuromodulation (rTMS transcranial magnetic stimulation, multimodal neuromodulation, transcutaneous electrical stimulation, percutaneous vagus nerve stimulation...); Acupuncture; Cochlear implantation...
