PURPOSE: identify the applications of fNIRS in tinnitus assessment and ascertain variations in oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin levels among empirical studies involving individuals with tinnitus. METHODS: The present scoping review involved a systematic search of peer-reviewed journals, focusing on empirical studies featuring human participants with tinnitus assessed via fNIRS. The terms were combined Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Tinnitus. Searches across databases such as PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Virtual Health Library (Bireme), and EMBASE, covering articles published up until July 21st, 2023. Two independent researchers conducted the initial selection, with discrepancies resolved by a third. RESULTS: Ten studies were included. Four compared oxy-hemoglobin changes in participants with tinnitus and controls. One adapted a probe in the external auditory canal to use in the fNIRS equipment, while another assessed their functional efficacy. The fNIRS evaluated improved auditory cortex function through transcranial direct current stimulation in chronic tinnitus. Longitudinal studies employed fNIRS to assess the effectiveness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, notched sound therapy, and acupuncture for tinnitus treatment. Five experimental designs encompassed block-design, three developed resting-state experiments, and two studies utilizing both. These explored changes in brain activity using pure tones stimuli and masking noise. CONCLUSION: fNIRS has proven advantageous. Variability exists as stimulus types, duration of the experiment, methods of data processing and statistical analysis, and descriptions of the results.
