OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between tinnitus and speech audiometry results.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this investigation, 314 patients with primary subjective tinnitus and 279 patients with sensorineural hearing loss, serving as a control group, were enrolled. All participants underwent comprehensive assessments, which included pure-tone and speech audiometry.
RESULTS: In considering basic parameters, a slight predominance of females was noted in both groups, with left-sided and bilateral tinnitus being the most common types. There were no significant differences in pure-tone averages between the tinnitus and control groups. In the tinnitus group, speech audiometry intensity were significantly higher (p < 0.00001) compared to the control group. In analyzing the relationships between tinnitus intensities and speech audiometry intensity, a significant (p = 0.000) positive correlation (rho = 0.581) was revealed. Additionally, a significant (p = 0.027) positive correlation (rho = 0.227) was found between tinnitus intensities and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory scores.
CONCLUSION: The relationship between tinnitus intensities and speech audiometry intensity demonstrates how tinnitus affects speech comprehension. Additionally, the intensity of tinnitus significantly influences an individual's perception of tinnitus severity.
