Tinnitus is known to unfavorably affect patients’ quality of life. Cognitive impairments such as inadequate concentration and
attention have been reported in some tinnitus patients. This preliminary study was performed to determine the memory
abilities of tinnitus patients using the N100 and p300 evoked residual potential tests. We recruited seven patients with tinnitus who
underwent 6 months treatment with Quranic rhythm (group-1) and Broadband noise (BBN) (group-2). All subjects completed the
tasks successfully. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference in 4 groups (preBBN, post BBN, pre Quranic and post Quranic)
for both tests (p>0.05). The amplitude of N100 wave targeted stimuli in group-1 showed mild cognitive improvement (8 out of 19
channels improvement) compared to group-2 where there was 7 out of 19 channels. The latency of N100 wave target group-2 showed
better improvement than group-1. The amplitude of P300 wave targeted stimuli in group-2 patients with mild cognitive improvement
compared to group-1. The latency of p300 wave targeted stimuli in group-1 and 2 showed equal improvements after intervention.
Our findings suggest that Quranic rhythm is one of the alternatives and a potentially new treatment option for tinnitus patients in
addition to the use of Broadband noise.
