Abstract: This presentation will analyze the clinical data from a broad number of tinnitus patients treated at “Centro de Tinnitus Montevideo”, Uruguay, between 2015 and 2022. All patients were treated with the Levo System (precise acoustic stimulation during sleep) for 9 consistent months of therapy.

Assessed within this meta-analysis are the following: 1) data on n=40 patients regarding sleep quality improvement measured using Insomnia Severity Index scores 2) data of a population of n=60 patients on tinnitus intensity reduction measured through Levo System tinnitus intensity assessment, and 3) data of a sample n=141 patients on frequency components of tinnitus.

Learning Objectives:

  • 1. Following participation in this session the learner will be able to understand how therapy with acoustic stimulation during sleep (ASDS) improves sleep quality. 2. Following participation in this session the learner will be able to understand how therapy with ASDS presents an optimal window of opportunity for treatment of tinnitus.
  • 3. Following participation in this session the learner will be able to understand how precise acoustic stimulation yields neuroplastic changes in the brain that reduce tinnitus perceived intensity.
  • 4. Following participation in this session the learner will be able to understand alternative tinnitus therapy solutions for patients whose tinnitus frequencies components are outside the range of amplification by traditional acoustic therapies (i. e. hearing aids, sounds generators, etc.) 5. Following participation in this session the learner will be able to understand alternative tinnitus therapy solutions for tinnitus patients that are not a candidate for hearing aids.
