Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical and psychoacoustic characteristics of tinnitus patients from university students.
METHOD:The study included 300 tinnitus patients. All patients were interviewed by the same investigator and using the same questionnaire. Data were collected and analyzed.
RESULT:Hearing loss was seen in 54.3% of the patients. There was no correlation between tinnitus severity and tinnitus loudness (P > 0.05). There was a significant relationship between high-pitched tinnitus and high-frequency SNHL (P < 0.01). In 86.0% of these patients, tinnitus had produced an adverse effect on their psychology and daily life.
CONCLUSION:There is a significant relationship between high-pitched tinnitus and high-frequency SNHL. Tinnitus has an impact on the life of patients from the university students.
