Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influencing factors related to the severity of tinnitus with normal hearing and to provide a clinical basis for the treatment of such patients.Methods From November 2019 to May 2020,150 normal hearing patients with tinnitus as their first chief complain in the outpatient clinic of our center were selected.The severity of tinnitus was assessed by the tinnitus handicap inventory(THI),and the quality of sleep and psychological condition were assessed by the Pittsburgh sleep quality index inventory(PSQI)and the anxie-ty and depression scale(HADS).The relationship between tinnitus severity and patients'gender,age,duration of illness,tinnitus side,tinnitus dominant sound frequency,tinnitus dominant sound loudness,sleep quality,anxiety and depression were analyzed using Pearson's method and Logistic multi-factor regression.Results The Pearson correlation analysis suggested that sleep quality(r=0.667,P＜0.001),anxiety status(r=0.603,P＜0.001)and depression status(r=0.593,P＜0.001)were correlated with the THI classification,and patients with poorer sleep quality and higher anxiety and depression scores had more severe tinnitus.Logistic multi-factor regression analysis showed that only sleep quality had a significant effect on THI classification(P＜0.001).Conclusion Sleep quality may be related to the severity of tinnitus patients with normal hearing,and it is important to focus on their sleep sta-tus in the clinical management of such patients.
