This research aims to evaluate the effects of lifestyle changes on older adults who have obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic subjective tinnitus. The study focuses on improving tinnitus and metabolic health by addressing lifestyle factors, as tinnitus is common in this population and linked to metabolic conditions. Sixty older adults aged 65 to 75 with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic tinnitus were randomly assigned into two groups. One group received supervised lifestyle changes involving walking exercise on a treadmill for 40 minutes, three times per week, and a low-calorie diet for twelve weeks. The other group did not receive any lifestyle intervention and served as the control group. Participants will be monitored over twelve weeks, with researchers measuring tinnitus severity using a visual analogue scale as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include tinnitus discomfort, tinnitus handicap, body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose. This study will assess changes in these measures to understand how lifestyle adjustments may influence tinnitus and metabolic health in older adults.
