BACKGROUND: Inpatient treatment of chronic complex @entity392 can be necessary for @entity1 with a high symptomatic strain, mostly accompanied by a corresponding mental comorbidity, and/or for @entity1 that can only perceive their psychogenic suffering through somatization into @entity392 . METHODS: We report the results of 368 consecutively treated inpatients with chronic complex @entity392 . @entity1 ' audiometric data were collected, and at the beginning and end of treatment, the Mini-Tinnitus Questionnaire (Mini-TQ12; Hiller und Goebel) was completed, as was the German version of the Hospitality Anxiety and @entity308 Score (HADS). Effect sizes were calculated for both questionnaires. Mean treatment duration was 38.8 days (standard deviation, SD: 13.6 days). The main therapeutic elements were intensive disorder-specific neurotologic counselling and psychoeducation; improvement of hearing by fitting of hearing aids, complemented by an individualized hearing therapy; and intensive individual and group-based psychotherapy. RESULTS: In addition to @entity392 , 82.1% of the @entity1 had reduced hearing requiring rehabilitation with hearing aids. After hospitalization, a highly significant improvement in @entity392 could be demonstrated by the Mini-TQ12. Furthermore, a significant @entity308 and @entity148 components of HADS was also achieved, with high effect sizes of 1.6 to 2.2. No @entity304 to a medium- or low-range level was experienced by 8.9% of @entity1 . CONCLUSION: With corresponding symptomatic suffering, @entity74 neurotologic and psychosomatic alignment can achieve medium- to high-range therapeutic effects.
