Tinnitus is defined as an auditory perception in the absence of any physical source. Almost everyone will experience some form of tinnitus at least once in the lifetime and in most of the cases this sensation disappears within seconds or minutes. However, in approximately 10% of the population the tinnitus persists for more than six months and can remain chronic for the rest of the life.

Even in the chronic case, the perception of the tinnitus can vary during the day and between days being sometimes more and sometimes less perceivable. The variation can depend on many factors including environmental noise, the daily activity, stressful life events, time of the day and much more. Many people have a good feeling of their tinnitus variation and can reconstruct it from memory to some extent - but how was the timeline of the variation exactly? Until recently it was not possible to systematically track the tinnitus perception over several weeks.

With this research project we want to offer a method to track the individual tinnitus perception with a smart phone application. Using the website in conjunction with your phone you can systematically track the variation of your tinnitus and find out how it is associated with your daily routine and activities. Your answers will also help us learn to more about the daily variation of the tinnitus perception, its causes and effects.

Rawatan ditakrifkan sebagai persepsi auditori dalam ketiadaan mana-mana sumber fizikal. Hampir semua orang akan mengalami beberapa bentuk tinnitus sekurang-kurangnya sekali seumur hidup dan dalam kebanyakan kes sensasi ini hilang dalam masa beberapa saat atau minit. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam kira-kira 10% daripada penduduk tinnitus berterusan untuk lebih daripada enam bulan dan boleh kekal kronik untuk sepanjang hayat.

Malah dalam kes kronik, persepsi tinnitus boleh berbeza pada siang hari dan waktu yang kadang-kadang boleh dilihat lebih dan kadang-kadang kurang. Perbezaannya boleh bergantung kepada banyak faktor termasuk bunyi alam sekitar, aktiviti harian, peristiwa hidup tertekan, masa hari dan banyak lagi. Ramai orang mempunyai perasaan yang baik variasi tinnitus mereka dan boleh membina semula ia dari ingatan sedikit - tetapi bagaimana akibat garis masa pengubahan itu sebenarnya? Sehingga baru-baru ini ia tidak mungkin untuk mengesan secara sistematik persepsi tinnitus selama beberapa minggu.

Dengan projek penyelidikan ini kami ingin menawarkan kaedah untuk mengesan persepsi tinnitus individu dengan aplikasi telefon pintar. Menggunakan laman web tersebut bersempena dengan telefon anda, anda boleh secara sistematik mengesan variasi tinnitus anda dan mengetahui bagaimana ia dikaitkan dengan rutin harian anda dan aktiviti. Jawapan anda juga akan membantu kita belajar lebih lanjut mengenai perubahan harian persepsi tinnitus, penyebab dan kesannya.
