The objective of the present study was to estimate the influence of fractal tones (ZEN program) on chronic subjective tympanophonia in the patients using hearing aid apparatuses. A total of 20 subjects at the age from 30 to 69 years suffering tympanophonia in combination with grade I-IV loss of hearing were available for examination with the use of the following methods: analysis of complaints and medical histories, evaluation of ENT functioning, impedancometry, tonal threshold, suprathreshold and speech audiometry, psychoacoustic noise measurement, analysis of THI and TRQ questionnaires. The results of the questionnaire studies show that the use of the ZEN program and hearing aid apparatuses (Mind 440, WIDEX) decreased the intensity of tympanophonia in 90% of the patients. The therapeutic effect of the ZEN program in the younger patients was higher than in the elder ones. The probability of positive action of fractal tones decreased with increasing scores when the assessment was based on the primary THI and TRQ questionnaires.
