Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Phase 1A involves adapting Cleveland Clinic's assessment and treatment approach for somatosensory tinnitus to make it feasible for a VA population.

Phase 1B involves screening Veterans with tinnitus to evaluate and describe the prevalence of somatosensory tinnitus (in Veterans with tinnitus).

Phase 2 involves Veterans with somatosensory tinnitus receiving 3 individualized physical therapy sessions using the adapted approach developed during Phase 1A.

Phase 3 will evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of the adapted treatment approach.
