Of the 150 @entity1 admitted in 2001 to the @entity392 Center located at the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine,     d  , Poland, 80 were subjected to complex examinations consisted of standardized questionnaire on medical history, psychological tests and audiological assessment. The diagnostic procedure was completed for 52 @entity1 (23 females and 29 males; mean age: 53 years). In this group, five @entity1 were found to have conductive @entity393 due to chronic eustachtis or @entity8719 . They were excluded from further studies. Among the other 47 @entity1 , 26 showed normal hearing threshold and 21 suffered from uni- or bilateral @entity1274 . @entity7804 was diagnosed in 16 cases. The measurements of brainstem evoked potentials revealed V wave latency asymmetry in 7 cases, which implied the necessity to perform CT or @entity56028 . In neither of cases did this diagnosis confirm the suspected @entity5 development (n. @entity797 @entity5 . The preliminary assessment of treatment efficacy for subjective @entity392 with use of retraining therapy yielded the following conclusions: 1. The application of hearing aid brings about an immediate improvement in the @entity1 's self-assessment of hearing and a better tolerance towards @entity392 . 2. A systematic all-day wear of noise generators contributes to the @entity1 's increased tolerance towards @entity392 , improved mental condition and alleviated @entity7804 . 3. The efficacy of the @entity392 retraining therapy, following Jastreboff, depends on providing the @entity1 with detailed information on the causes and mechanisms of @entity392 development. 4. The negative diagnostics for @entity5 within the cranial cavity has not only a soothing effect on the @entity1 as it relieves his/her stress, but it can also be a good starting point for the @entity392 retraining therapy.
