Among the theories of tinnitus generation, there is that of central neuroplastic changes, which reports the association between changes and reorganization that occur in central auditory pathways and impacts on associated areas due to the altered neural signal. Auditory training modifies these altered pathways through auditory exercises, which provoke positive neuroplasticity. Musical auditory training is a proposal to stimulate auditory, cognitive and metalinguistic skills with activities focused on musicality. Therefore, the objective of this study is to verify the effect of musical auditory training (MAT) on the neuroplasticity of the auditory system and the perception of tinnitus disorder in young adults.

| Study Group - Musical Auditory Training | Experimental | For musical training, the protocol proposed by Freire, et al. (2009). This protocol was created for elderly users of hearing aids and in this study it will be used as an instrument for intervention in tinnitus, aiming at auditory training through the hierarchization of auditory skills associated with musicality (FREIRE, 2009). Eight sessions will be held over four weeks, two sessions per week. Sessions will last a minimum of 40 minutes and a maximum of 50 minutes. Victory supra-aural headphones will be used, connected to the computer. There will be calibration, with adjustment of the volume of sounds to the most comfortable level for the individual at the beginning of all sessions. |
|
| Control Group - Placebo | Placebo Comparator | Placebo sessions will also be held twice a week for four weeks, totaling eight sessions. To ensure the same conditions for performing musical auditory training, in the placebo treatment, instrumental music will be used concomitantly with the exposure of films without sound, in which patients will be exposed to visual and auditory stimulation during the same time of EG intervention, at least 40 minutes and a maximum of 50 minutes. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Treinamento Auditivo Musical | Behavioral | Auditory training with a focus on musicality. The skills trained will be: figure-ground for instrumental sounds, sequential figure-ground, directed listening, duration of sounds, frequency of sounds, rhythm (temporal structuring), auditory closure and audiovisual memory, with a focus on temporal processing, working memory and attention selective on an increasing scale of difficulty. The frequency ranges of instrumental sounds are from 200 to 4000 Hz, composed of the following instruments: guitar, vibraphone, piano, flute and drum. |

| Changes in latency of the long latency auditory evoked potential (LLAEP) | Improve the latency in milliseconds of P2 potential | Within a month |

| Placebo | Behavioral | This placebo approach will be to demonstrate the influence of musical exposure without exercises with structuring auditory skills and compare with the TAM group. The song Sonata for two pianos in D major, K448, by Mozart, will be used. The films selected were: Cirque Du Soleil, entitled "The Journey of Man"; Chaplin collection with the following films: "Modern Times", "The Great Dictator", "In Search of Gold" and "Footlights". The choice of the order of the films will be random, as proposed by Freire (2009). |
