Abstract

Tinnitus is a bothersome disorder of primarily unknown etiology that affects a large number of people worldwide. Tinnitus distress is the most common clinical complaint by tinnitus sufferers because it strongly affects their personal and social life. Many studies have been carried out to determine the relation between tinnitus pathophysiology and electrophysiological findings such as the auditory steady-state response (ASSR). The results of such studies have been contradictory. The current study aimed to detect a possible relation between tinnitus distress and ASSR amplitudes. The tinnitus participants were divided into high and low distress subgroups according to their tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) scores. The ASSR stimuli were carrier frequencies with low (500 Hz), mid (2000 Hz), and high (4000 Hz) amplitude-modulated tones. ASSR amplitudes were calculated in anterio-frontal (F3, Fz, F4), centro-frontal (FC3, FCz, FC4), left auditory (T3, C5, C3) and right auditory (C4, T4, C6) regions of interest (ROI). Twenty-four right-handed subjects with non-pulsatile chronic tinnitus and 23 normal matched participants participated in this study. For recording ASSR amplitudes were used from 32-electrode EEG recording. Two-way repeated-measurement ANOVA was used to compare the ASSR amplitudes. The findings showed that the ASSR amplitudes in the tinnitus group with low distress were higher (better) than in the group with high distress (p < 0.001). This finding was seen in anterio-frontal and right auditory regions and at all carrier frequencies. The results indicated that there is a relation between the ASSR amplitude and the degree of tinnitus distress as measured by the THI questionnaire. © 2021
