Evaluating the Relationship Between Tinnitus Intensity, Noise Sensitivity, Health Anxiety and Depression in Adult Individuals with Tinnitus Complaints

Öz

Purpose: Evaluating the relationship between tinnitus intensity, noise sensitivity, health anxiety and depression in adult individuals with tinnitus complaints. Material and Methods:190 individuals aged 19 and over having tinnitus complaints for at least one year were included in the study. In the study, the General Information Form (GIF), Tinnitus Disability Questionnaire (TDQ), Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale (WNSS), Health Anxiety Inventory (HAI) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale Short Form (DASS-21) were used and delievered to the participants online. SPSS 22.0 was used for the statistical analyses. Results: The mean scores of individuals with tinnitus complaint were 49.73±29.40 for TDQ, 56.82±17.94 for WNSS, 19.96±13.90 for DASS-21, 18.33±9.69 for HAI. Tinnitus intensity of 28.6% of people with noise sensitivity was very mild, 12.7% was very severe. A positive correlation was found between the total score of the TDQ and the scores of the DASS-21. A negative correlation was found between the WNSS scores and the total score of the TDQ. There was a statistically significant difference between the upper 1/3, lower 1/3 and middle classification values of the WNSS total scores and the TDQ classification groups. A positive correlation was found between the total score of the TDQ and the HAI and its sub-dimensions (p<0.05). Conclusions: There was a correlation between the intensity of tinnitus perceived by individuals and depression and health anxiety. A negative relationship was found in noise sensitivity with tinnitus intensity and depression. There is a positive relationship between the classification values of the noise sensitivity groups and the tinnitus intensity classification groups. Considering our findings, the intervention is thought to affect the process for tinnitus positively. Prospective controlled studies are needed to investigate the causality relationship.
