Abstract

The AA. intend to find a significant relationship between the subjective intensity of the tinnitus experienced by 47 patients, as assessed by themselves from a 7-point scale, and the objective intensity evaluated by audiometric matching of the noise. The relationship among the subjective intensity, the frequency of tinnitus and the hearing loss at the same frequency of the tinnitus aurium has also been studied. A statistically significative relationship between these parameters could not be possible find out. So they think necessary to find some others means to assess the intensity of the tinnitus.
