Abstract
Purpose: Evaluating the relationship between tinnitus intensity, noise sensitivity, health anxiety and depression in adult individuals with tinnitus complaints.
 Material and Methods:190 individuals aged 19 and over having tinnitus complaints for at least one year were included in the study.

Tinnitus intensity of 28.6% of people with noise sensitivity was very mild, 12.7% was very severe. A positive correlation was found between the total score of the TDQ and the scores of the DASS-21. A negative correlation was found between the WNSS scores and the total score of the TDQ. There was a statistically significant difference between the upper 1/3, lower 1/3 and middle classification values of the WNSS total scores and the TDQ classification groups. A positive correlation was found between the total score of the TDQ and the HAI and its sub-dimensions (p
