Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Group
Experimental group who consists of subjective tinnitus patients will receive 1 hour of informative session on tinnitus and also perform 4-7-8 breathing exercises for 6 weeks
4-7-8 breathing exercise technique and informative session on tinnitus
Participants in experimental group will be individually provided with informative session on tinnitus for one hour by researchers. During the informative session, the participants will be given general information about tinnitus and will be informed about the possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, therapy, or treatment processes, and coping methods. The participants will be also given a printed informative brochure on tinnitus. In the same session, after one hour of informative session, the 4-7-8 breathing exercise method will be demonstrated by the same researchers. In addition, a video showing how to perform the 4-7-8 breathing exercise technique will be sent as a text message to their cell phones.
Control Group
Control group who consists of subjective tinnitus patients will receive 1 hour of informative session on tinnitus only
Informative session on tinnitus
Participants in control group will be individually provided with informative session on tinnitus only for one hour by researchers G.K. and G.S.U. from both clinics. During the informative session, the participants will be given general information about tinnitus and inform about the possible causes, symptoms, diagnosis, therapy, or treatment processes, and coping methods. The participants will be also given a printed informative brochure on tinnitus.
