Many tinnitus patients experience reduced quality of life and high distress. The Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) helps identify patients needing psychological support.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Psychological distress assessment

Background:

  • Tinnitus significantly impacts patients' quality of life and emotional well-being.
  • Quantifying tinnitus-related distress is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of tinnitus on quality of life and distress levels in audiology patients.
  • To assess the utility of the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) in identifying distress in tinnitus sufferers.

Main Methods:

  • Administered the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), SCL-90-R, and an activities limitations questionnaire to 53 tinnitus patients.
  • Analyzed patient responses to quantify tinnitus impact and psychological distress.

Main Results:

  • 43% of patients reported reduced quality of life, significant handicap, or high distress due to tinnitus.

  • 25% of patients scored higher on the SCL-90-R General Severity Index (GSI) than the general medical population, indicating significant distress.

    • Conclusions:

    • Tinnitus frequently leads to substantial psychological distress and reduced quality of life.
    • The SCL-90-R is a valuable tool for audiologists to identify tinnitus patients requiring psychological or psychiatric referrals.
