Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The reduction of the emotional and functional impact of Tinnitus verified by means of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score from the observation of a variation of at least 10 points in the pre and post-intervention measurements, a set of 25 questions with three possible answers (yes, sometimes and not), graduated in values (4, 2 and 0 respectively), resulting in a score of 0 to 100 representing the patient's discomfort with tinnitus. The greater the decrease in the score, the better the treatment result.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Perception of participant improvement verified by applying the Global Perception of Change (PGIC) scale after the intervention. He must choose 1 out of 7 options, being: 1 unchanged (or condition worsened). 2 almost in the same, without any visible change. 3 slightly better, but without significant changes.4 with some improvements, but the change did not represent any real difference. 5 moderately better, with slight but significant change. 6 better, and with improvements that made a real difference and useful. 7 much better, and with a considerable improvement that made all the difference.;Perception of improvement of the participant verified by the application of an open question after the intervention. Did you feel better? Yes or no.;Assessment and quantification of side effects verified by the application of an open question. Did you experience any bad effects after starting treatment? Which? How long? How intense, mild, moderate, or intense?
