Differences Among XXXX That Make Their Tinnitus Worse or Better.

@entity1 @entity392
PURPOSE: Our objective was to identify activities that influence @entity392 and to determine if conditional probabilities exist among such variables. METHOD: Two hundred fifty-eight @entity1 were asked the following two questions: "When you have your @entity392 , which of the following makes it worse?" and "Which of the following reduces your @entity392 ?" RESULTS: Things that made @entity392 better included noise (31%) and relaxation (15%). Things that made @entity392 worse included being in a quiet place (48%), stress (36%), being in a noisy place (32%), and lack of sleep (27%). Almost 6% of @entity1 suggested coffee/tea and 4% said certain foods made their @entity392 worse. Conditional probabilities indicated that for those whose @entity392 is not worse in quiet, it is usually not reduced by noise. For those whose @entity392 is not worse in noise, it is usually not reduced in quiet. CONCLUSION: There are dramatic differences among @entity1 . Such differences need to be considered in planning treatments.
