A New Therapeutic Approach for Somatosensory Tinnitus
Somatosensory tinnitus is suspected when the tinnitus perception changes following head,
neck, or jaw maneuvers. The prevalence of this type of tinnitus in Veterans in unknown. The
Cleveland Clinic evaluates all tinnitus patients for this condition and when detected,
prescribes individualized physiotherapy. Cleveland Clinic's novel approach to tinnitus
assessment and management provides the framework for this proof of concept pilot study.

assessment and management provides the framework for this proof of concept pilot study.
Phase 1A involves adapting Cleveland Clinic's assessment and treatment approach for
somatosensory tinnitus to make it feasible for a VA population.
Phase 1B involves screening Veterans with tinnitus to evaluate and describe the prevalence of
somatosensory tinnitus (in Veterans with tinnitus).
Phase 2 involves Veterans with somatosensory tinnitus receiving 3 individualized physical
therapy sessions using the adapted approach developed during Phase 1A.
Phase 3 will evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of the adapted treatment approach.
