Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of high-pitched tinnitus and related factors in 89 patients at the Department of On-Demand Examination and Treatment, Hanoi Medical University Hospital from March 2023 to March 2024. Results: the mean age was 43.64 ± 10.40 years old with 55.1% males The average duration of tinnitus was 39.4 ± 24.5 months. The severity of tinnitus was categorized as follows: 61.8% severe, 24.7% moderate, 5.6% very severe. Continuous tinnitus accounted for 87.6%, bilateral tinnitus accounted for 79.8%, tinnitus at night accounted for 93.3%. Patients with high-pitched tinnitus had mild, moderate, severe, and very severe hearing loss of 53.9%, 24.7%, 16.9%, and 4.5%, respectively. The THI score was closely correlated with the duration of tinnitus and the degree of hearing loss (r = 0.621 and 0.648, respectively, p < 0.05). The THI score was statistically significant between groups with and without medical conditions. Conclusion: In our study, the severity of tinnitus was mainly moderate to severe, most of the subjects had continuous tinnitus, bilateral tinnitus, tinnitus at night, and often mild to moderate receptive hearing loss. The THI score was closely correlated with the duration of tinnitus and the degree of hearing loss.
