Disentangling Tinnitus Distress and Tinnitus Presence by Means of EEG Power Analysis

Figure 1

Self-evaluation of individual tinnitus-related distress by means of PRISM. TI imagined a metal board representing her life and a small yellow circle on the board representing her self. The task was to place a small magnetic red disk on the board to indicate the current salience and distress of tinnitus in the patient’s life. Afterwards, the distance between the self and the tinnitus disk was measured as a quantitative measure of the burden of individual distress.
