We use "tinnitus score" as a subjective classification of severity defined as follows: score O: no sound; score 1: weak; score 2: moderate; and score 3: strong, Tinnitus was classified according to the kinds of hearing loss: sensorineural, conductive, mixed, and no hearing loss tinnitusIn 123 patients with tinnitus (168 ears), we compared the "tinnitus score" with tinnitus examinations, and obtained the following findings.1) A significant correlation between "tinnitus score" and tinnitus classification was not seen, but in ears with sensorineural hearing loss tinnitus was less severe, and in those with conductive or no hearing loss tinnitus more had score 1 than score 3.2) There was no significant correlation between "tinnitus score" and objective loudness or frequency of tinnitus judged by a tuning fork test, but the lower the score, the more low-pitched was the tinnitus.3) There was no significant correlation between "tinnitus score" and the types of tinnitogram except for the horizontal type: the lower the score, the more ears had the horizontal type of tinnitogram.4) It was considered impossible to express tinnitus objectively by the "tinnitus score".
