| TFI Questionnaire Scores: The Tinnitus Functional Index self-assessment questionnaire is a standard tool for assessing the various effects of tinnitus in causing disability and adverse conditions on the quality of life of these individuals. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: Registration in the relevant forms.;THI Questionnaire Scores: The Tinnitus Disability Self-Assessment Questionnaire is a standardized tool used to assess the severity of tinnitus discomfort and assess the adverse impact of tinnitus on quality of life. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: Registration in the relevant forms.;Tinnitus pitch matching: psychophysical frequency of tinnitus. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: with audiometer.;Tinnitus loudness matching: Tinnitus loudness at the psychophysical frequency of tinnitus. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: with audiometer.;Minimum Tinnitus Coverage Level: This refers to the minimum amount of noise decibels that causes tinnitus to be covered and not heard by the individual. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: with audiometer.;Evaluation of the residual tinnitus interruption phenomenon: In this evaluation, noise is presented at an intensity level of 10 dB above the minimum tinnitus coverage level for 60 seconds and the cessation of the tinnitus sound is examined. Timepoint: Before intervention, after intervention, 3 months after intervention. Method of measurement: with a clock.;Quantitative Visual Analog Scale Score: A visual analog scale used to quantitatively determine the severity and annoyance of tinnitus in individuals.
