To assess factors that contribute to Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) scores in Japan.
Case series with chart review.
Two hundred and eighty-five tinnitus patients at tertiary referral center, who completed the Japanese version of the THI, the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
In multiple regression analysis, the SDS score contributed the most to the THI score. The state section of the STAI score and pure tone average (PTA) at four high frequencies also contributed significantly, but to lesser degrees. The other following factors were not statistically significant: age, gender, time from the onset of tinnitus to the first clinical visit, PTA at three mid frequencies, and trait section of the STAI score. This model may account for approximately 45% of THI score variability.
The THI scores may be influenced by depressive symptoms, state anxiety, and pure tone thresholds in Japan.
评估日本耳鸣残疾量表（THI）评分的相关因素。
病例系列，图表回顾。
在三级转诊中心的 285 名耳鸣患者，他们完成了耳鸣残疾量表（THI）的日语版、自评抑郁量表（SDS）和状态特质焦虑量表（STAI）。
在多元回归分析中，SDS 评分对 THI 评分的贡献最大。STAI 评分的状态部分和四个高频的纯音平均（PTA）也有显著贡献，但程度较小。其他以下因素没有统计学意义：年龄、性别、耳鸣发病到首次就诊的时间、三个中频的 PTA 和 STAI 评分的特质部分。该模型可解释 THI 评分变化的约 45%。
日本的 THI 评分可能受抑郁症状、状态焦虑和纯音阈值的影响。
