Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation of psychiatric disorders with tinnitus and tinnitus handicap scores. A total of 30 patients and 30 otherwise healthy people were enrolled for the study. Somatoform disorder questionnaire SDQ-20 was filled in by both the study and the control group. Tinnitus handicap scores were filled in study group. Tinnitus handicap scores were 28.1±19.8, and somatoform disorder questionnaire scores were 30.5±7.3 in the tinnitus group. In the control group the somatoform disorder questionnaire scores were 25.4±4.6. (1) We found a statistically significant difference between somatoform disorder questionnaire scores between groups (p<0.05). (2) There was a statistically significant difference between tinnitus handicap scores and somatoform disorder questionnaire scores in study group (p=0.0). The correlation between these tests was positively strong (R=0.782). (3) There was no statistical difference between genders. We recommend investigating patients with long-lasting tinnitus for psychiatric comorbidity in relation to somatoform disorders in cooperation with psychiatric clinics.
