However, guidelines for the appropriate application of these tools in research study designs are limited. This study aims to determine if any tinnitus outcome measure is validated for use in determining symptom change in response to treatments administered with hyperacute follow-up (less than 5 days).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Databases Reviewed:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A literature review was conducted of peer-reviewed articles on the psychometric properties of tinnitus outcome measures. A total of 594 articles were identified with 7 articles included for final review. Psychometric data, including the minimum clinically important difference and the time from intervention to outcome measurement (data collection interval), were extracted.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The final review included 5 studies on the Tinnitus Functional Index and 2 on the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. The time intervals for intervention follow-up were defined as: 0\u20131 days = immediate, 2\u20135 days = hyperacute, 6\u201310 days = acute, 11\u201331 days = subacute, and &gt;31 days = chronic. Two studies utilized chronic time intervals and 4 studies had follow-up in the subacute interval. The final study reported a wide follow-up range from hyperacute to subacute.
