Psychoacoustic Characteristics of Tinnitus in Relation to Audiometric Profile

The aim of the study was to examine relationship between tinnitus pitch and maximum hearing loss, frequency range edge audiogram, as well as, analyze loudness at normal frequency. The included 212 patients, aged 21 75 years (mean age 54.4 ±13.5 years) with chronic subjective sensorineural loss. For statistical data analysis we used Chi-square test Fisher’s exact level significance p < 0.05. Tinnitus corresponding loss found in 70.8%, 37.3%, 16.5% respectively. majority patients had from 3000 8000 Hz (p 0.001). mean 3545 ±2482.
