This research was conducted to investigate the presenting features of tinnitus in subjects with normal hearing thresholds as compared to the ones with hearing loss.
Sample population comprised of 175 subjects with tinnitus, in the age range of 18 to 55 years, segregated into two groups: G1 (75 subjects) having normal hearing with tinnitus and G2 (100 subjects) having hearing loss with tinnitus. All the subjects underwent conventional audiometric testing along with a thorough evaluation of all the parameters of tinnitus.
Significantly large number of males reported with tinnitus as compared to females. Tinnitus was most prevailing in left ear and these subjects sought intervention earlier than right tinnitus subjects. G1 subjects reported earlier as compared to G2 subjects. Males looked out for specialist's advice earlier than females in both the groups. Large number of subjects in both groups reported with sudden onset and continuous tinnitus.
本研究旨在调查听力阈值正常的耳鸣患者与听力损失的耳鸣患者的临床表现特征。
样本包括175名年龄在18至55岁之间的耳鸣患者，分为两组：G1组（75名受试者）为听力正常的耳鸣患者，G2组（100名受试者）为伴有耳鸣的听力损失患者。所有受试者均接受了常规听力测试，并对耳鸣的所有参数进行了全面评估。
与女性相比，报告耳鸣的男性数量显著更多。耳鸣在左耳最为常见，这些受试者比右耳鸣受试者更早寻求干预。G1组受试者比G2组受试者报告更早。在两组中，男性比女性更早寻求专家建议。两组中大量受试者报告耳鸣为突然发作且持续存在。
