Altered functional connectivity (FC) of the thalamus has been proven to be an important finding in tinnitus patients. Tinnitus can be effectively desensitized by sound therapy. However, it is still unclear whether and how sound therapy affects the FC of the thalamus. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data and anatomical data were longitudinally collected from 25 idiopathic tinnitus patients before and after 12 weeks of sound therapy by using adjusted narrow band noise and from 25 matched healthy controls at the same time interval without any intervention. The FC of bilateral thalami were analyzed by setting the left and right thalamus as the regions of interest. Significant main effect of group on the FC of the thalamus were found mainly in the key components of the default mode network, limbic network, salience network, cognitive control network, auditory network and occipital region. FC values between the thalamus, inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) featured higher values in the tinnitus group at baseline compared to the healthy controls and restoration in tinnitus patients after treatment. Decreased Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) scores and decreased FC values between the right thalamus and right IFG were positively correlated (r = 0.476,P = 0.016). Abnormal FC of the thalamus is associated with multiple brain networks. Sound therapy has a normalizing effect on the enhanced FC of the thalamus-IFG and thalamus-ACC, representing decreased tinnitus attention control and less involvement of the noise-canceling system.
