Abstract

Background: Complaints of tinnitus sufferers are generally subjective, while there is no objective examination in establishing the diagnosis of tinnitus so far, so that a questionnaire is needed to help establish it. The limitations of objectively assessing tinnitus have led to self-report questionnaires as the best option for evaluating tinnitus symptoms and measuring the extent to which quality of life is negatively impacted. Objective: to compare the scores between the Indonesian Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Indonesian version of the 12-item Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ). Method: A descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional design, where both variables were observed at the same time. This research was conducted at the Neurotology Outpatient Unit (URJ) RSUD Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from September 2019 to April 2020. Result: A total of 29 tinnitus patients who met the criteria were divided by age, gender, degree of hearing loss, THI score, THI severity, and TPFQ score. Conclusion: The results of the correlation test between the degree of hearing loss with THI-Indonesia and the degree of hearing loss with the Indonesian 12-item TPFQ showed no difference in the results, namely both were not correlated, so the Indonesian 12-items TPFQ was valid and reliable, and it could be used to shorten the assessment time of tinnitus sufferers in hectic outpatient clinics.
