Measuring the impact of Tinnitus

The purpose of this scale is to identify the problems your tinnitus may be causing you. Answer ‘Yes’, ‘Sometimes’, or ‘No’ for each question. Do not skip any questions. This questionnaire is reproduced with the kind permission of Craig Newman Ph.D.

The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is an internationally recognised standard questionnaire designed to determine the impact of tinnitus on your lifestyle and general quality of life. By fitting hearing aids, with patients who could benefit from hearing aids, we aim to achieve a change of two grade levels; however we are often able to achieve more. Some of the questions may not apply to you, please answer them all with the best possible answer.

There are 26 questions in this survey.
