A profile of audiological and psychological characteristics, obtained before starting tinnitus management training, is presented for 96 subjects with tinnitus. Variability was marked in all measures. A history of headaches, neck or back pain, or balance problems was not related to the ability to cope with tinnitus. The coping strategies used to manage tinnitus were influenced by the beliefs held about tinnitus, but the coping strategies chosen were not necessarily effective. No gender differences were found in coping ability or overall stress levels, although there were gender differences on some psychological measures and stress influences. Subjects who had previously sought assistance differed from those who had not in the complexity of the tinnitus sounds, the level of emotional reaction and the use of coping behaviours.
本文呈现了96名耳鸣患者在开始耳鸣管理训练前的听力和心理特征概况。所有测量指标的变异性都很明显。头痛、颈部或背部疼痛或平衡问题的病史与应对耳鸣的能力无关。用于管理耳鸣的应对策略受对耳鸣所持信念的影响，但所选择的应对策略不一定有效。尽管在一些心理测量指标和压力影响方面存在性别差异，但在应对能力或总体压力水平上未发现性别差异。之前寻求过帮助的受试者与未寻求过帮助的受试者在耳鸣声音的复杂性、情绪反应程度和应对行为的使用方面存在差异。
