| Popis: | Introduction and objectives To compare clinical and psychoacoustic tinnitus characteristics in patients with the comorbidity of hyperacusis, hyperacusis and vertigo, and with Meniere's disease (MD). Materials and methods Three hundred and twenty-nine tinnitus patients underwent audiological and otoneurological evaluation. Records of 94 individuals younger than 65 years, 40 women and 54 men (mean age 41.8, range 24–64 years), who complained of tinnitus and hyperacusis, were analyzed. One hundred and thirty-one ears with tinnitus were identified: 67 in the group of patients with tinnitus and hyperacusis (group 1; 41 patients); 28 in the group fulfilling criteria of MD diagnosis (group 2; 28); and 36 in the group with tinnitus, hyperacusis and typical symptoms of vertigo (group 3; 25). Results and conclusions Mean value of interaural difference in canal paresis in group 1 was 6.3%; in group 2: 23.7%; and in group 3: 25.9%; p Mean tinnitus pitch was lower in the groups of patients with hyperacusis and peripheral labyrinthine lesion than in tinnitus sufferers with hyperacusis alone. Tinnitus sufferers with low tinnitus pitch should undergo vestibular system evaluation. Hyperacusis and vertigo are likely comorbidities in tinnitus patients after head trauma. Hyperacusis may coincide in tinnitus patients after head trauma. |
