Popis: Background: Noise and light sensitivities are typical symptoms for migraine attack typeheadaches. Sometimes, these sensitivities can be observed without these attacks aswell. The purpose of this study was to analyze sensitivity to noise in migraine patients.Method: In the study, 30 patients with no hearing loss who were being followed-upfor their migraine illness, and 30 patients with similar demographic characteristicswho did not have migraine, were included. The patients were given a hearing test andtheir hearing thresholds were determined. All of the patients were administered theWeinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale. The demographic data and noise sensitivity levelsof the 2 groups were compared.Result: The mean score on the Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale was observed as89.47± 14.66 in the group without migraine, and as 93.34 ± 12.61 in the group withmigraine. Although there was no statistically significant difference between themean scale scores of 2 groups, the mean result of migraine group was found higher inmigraine group. When 2 groups were compared with respect to the noise sensitivitysubgroup, which has 99 and higher scores, the migraine group was found tobe statistically different from control group.Conclusion: It was observed in this study that migraine patients experience noise sensitivity even without acute attacks. It is considered that preliminary information canbe obtained about how the auditory and sensory pathways are affected in migrainepatients, by using scales, similar to the noise sensitivity scale.Keywords: Migraine, noise sensitivity, questionnaire survey
