Richard S. Tyler 1 and Lesley J. Baker 1

1 Institute of Hearing Research, General Hospital, Nottingham, United Kingdom

Ninety-seven member of a tinnitus self-help group were asked to list the difficulties that they had as a result of their tinnitus. Seventy-two replies were returned from 22 men and 48 women (sex not report in two cases) whose average age was 61 years. Tinnitus was associated with hearing difficulties in 53%, effects on lifestyle in 93%, effects on general health in 56%, and emotional difficulties in 70% of the sample. Getting to sleep was the most frequently mentioned difficulty, and many respondents indicated that they experienced depression, annoyance, and insecurity. The clinical applications of this open-ended questionnaire are discussed.
