The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of ILF Neurofeedback and EEG Neurofeedback on tinnitus, anxiety and depression intensity and quality of life in patients with tinnitus through a quasi-experimental design of two groups included pre-test and post-test. Method Among the patients with tinnitus referred to Tehran Tinnitus and Hearing Center, 50 persons (22 females and 28 males) who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned into two groups (each group consists of 25 person). the tinnitus handicap inventory (THI), the Beck Anxiety inventory (1996) and the Short Form of Quality of Life Scale (1998), were used to measure the research variables. At first, both groups completed the pre-test questionnaires, and participated in a 20-day course of intervention under neurofeedback with a T3 / T4 protocol. After performing the post-test, the data were analyzed by covariance analysis.Results Results showed that both treatments were effective and the effect of the two neurofeedback methods on anxiety was not statistically significant, but the effect of ILF Neurofeedback on tinnitus, depression and quality of life was more effective than EEG Neurofeedback. Conclusions Accordingly, the neurofeedback exercises used in this study can be used as a complementary and effective treatment to decrease the tinnitus, anxiety and depression intensity and improve the quality of life in patients with tinnitus.
