摘要
Purpose Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors that influence tinnitus improvement after idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL) treatment. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, 137 ISSNHL patients with tinnitus were recruited at the Sun Yatsen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, China. They underwent audiological examinations, vestibular assessments, tinnitus examinations, a Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) assessment and ISSNHL treatments. Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate factors that affected tinnitus improvement. Results Participants were divided into an effective group (73 patients) and noneffective group (64 patients) according to THI scores before and after treatment. The effective group had better averaged hearing threshold than the noneffective group (effective group vs. noneffective group: 74.47 vs. 87.66 dB HL; t = 3.03, p < 0.05). Additionally, before intervention there were significant difference in profound audiogram configuration (effective group vs. noneffective group: 17.81% vs. 46.88%, x(2) = 23.63; p < 0.001), mid tinnitus pitch (effective group vs. noneffective group: 19.18% vs. 35.94%, x(2) = 6.58; p = 0.037) and mean THI scores (effective group vs. noneffective group: 57.07 +/- 22.27 vs. 36.78 +/- 24.41, t = -5.09, p < 0.001) between the effective and noneffective tinnitus groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that audiogram configurations (profound audiogram: OR = 0.10, 95% CI 0.01-0.72, p = 0.022), tinnitus pitch (mid tinnitus pitch: OR = 0.16, 95% CI 0.05-0.57, p = 0.004) and THI scores (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 1.03-1.07, p < 0.001) were independent factors associated with tinnitus improvement. Conclusion Audiogram configuration, tinnitus pitch, and THI scores before intervention appear to be predictive of the effectiveness of acute tinnitus improvement following ISSNHL treatment.
