Abstract

To verify the relationship between THI and VAS scores in patients with sudden hearing loss and tinnitus in a prospective study. Forty-four patients classified their tinnitus according to VAS and THI before and after treatment, and both scores were compared through the Pearson's correlation coefficient test and Nonparametric tests. There was a correlation between VAS and THI scores in patients with sudden hearing loss and tinnitus. Tinnitus assessment scores were significantly reduced after treatment. Decreasing of THI and VAS scores were not depended on frequency and loudness of tinnitus and severity of deafness, but therapeutic effect of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. THI and VAS scores are useful for assessment of tinnitus in patients with sudden hearing loss and tinnitus.
