Abstract
The aim of the study was to compare the extended high-frequency (EHF) hearing thresholds (10–16 kHz) in tinnitus and non-tinnitus ears, in a group of 98 patients with unilateral tinnitus and normal hearing at standard audiometric frequencies, in a 0.125–8 kHz range. It was found that a total of 65 patients (66%) had a hearing loss (a threshold shift > 20 dB HL) in the EHF range and the EHF hearing loss occurred more frequently in the tinnitus ear than in the non-tinnitus ear. The data also indicate that the EHF thresholds increased with the patient’s age and were in most patients higher in the tinnitus ear than in the non-tinnitus ear.
该研究的目的是比较耳鸣和非耳鸣耳朵的扩展高频(EHF)听力阈值(10-16 kHz),在一组98例单侧耳鸣患者和听力正常的标准听力频率,在0.125-8 kHz范围内。结果发现,共有65例患者(66%)出现EHF范围内的听力损失(阈值移位bbb20 dB HL),耳鸣耳的EHF听力损失发生率高于非耳鸣耳。数据还表明,EHF阈值随着患者年龄的增长而增加,大多数耳鸣患者的EHF阈值高于非耳鸣患者。
