Résumé
Degree of distress perceived due to tinnitus is different in every individual. Underlying mechanisms for this are yet unclear. Investigating the relationship between hearing status and tinnitus distress. This is a case-control study. 38 individuals with tinnitus, divided into normal hearing (NHT, NHT group showed significantly lower degrees of tinnitus distress compared to HIT group ( The present study suggests hearing status may play critical role for experienced tinnitus distress, even in individuals with mild to moderate hearing impairment. This is the first study to investigate the relationship between behavioral hearing ability and tinnitus distress when controlling for age, sex, educational background and age at tinnitus onset. The results provide important information regarding management of tinnitus patients.
