The relationship between hearing threshold loss and severity of reactions to tinnitus
Several studies have suggested that tinnitus severity or distress is worse in patients with more severe hearing loss. We explored the relationship between tinnitus severity measured on two tinnitus questionnaires and hearing thresholds in alarge population of cochlear implant recipients. No signific...

| Summary: | Several studies have suggested that tinnitus severity or distress is worse in patients with more severe hearing loss. We explored the relationship between tinnitus severity measured on two tinnitus questionnaires and hearing thresholds in alarge population of cochlear implant recipients. No significant correlations were found between hearing thresholds and the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire and the Tinnitus Primary Functions Questionnaire. We conclude that there is no clear relationship between the reaction to tinnitus and hearing threshold loss. |
