Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Subjective tinnitus is the perception of irregular sound at different frequencies. Although the underlying cause of tinnitus is unclear, increased body weight is known to increase tinnitus symptoms. This study aimed to determine the effects of dietary and physical activity interventions on tinnitus symptoms. Sixty-three obese subjects with tinnitus aged 20 to 65 years were divided into diet + physical 8 activity (P.A.), diet, P.A., and control groups. Dietary and anthropometric records, Tinnitus Handicap 9Inventory (THI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of all individuals were compared at the baseline and at the end of the study.

Detailed Description

Although the underlying cause of tinnitus is unclear, increased body weight is known to increase tinnitus symptoms. The present study aimed to determine the effects of dietary and physical activity interventions on tinnitus symptoms.

Sixty-three obese subjects with tinnitus aged 20 to 65 years were divided into diet + physical activity (P.A.) (n = 15), diet (n = 16), P.A. (n = 15), and control (n = 17) groups. Dietary records, anthropometric measurements, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of all individuals were recorded and compared at the baseline and at study completion.
