초록

Background and Objectives Qualitative and quantitative data of tinnitus are both impor-tant to obtain necessary information for assessing tinnitus evaluation. But contrary to quanti-tative questionnaire, qualitative data is not standardized in Korea. This study aimed to standard-ize the qualitative data of tinnitus by developing a Korean-type integrated qualitative tinnitus questionnaires.Subjects and Method A cross-sectional survey of Korean otolaryngologists was performed. The questionnaires were administered to otologists who were registered as participants in the tinnitus study group of otology research interest group (ORIG). Results Most of the otologists (100% of responders) have used the quantitative tinnitus ques-tionnaire measurement (90.5%), but only 76% have used qualitative tinnitus questionnaire. From the responses of otologists who regularly use qualitative questionnaire, 25 items were ad-opted from the 35 item list. Questionnaire items were selected according to the frequency of list-ed items in the individual lists. Conclusion We made a qualitative questionnaire consisting of 25 items that were essential and widely accepted. We expect this work will integrate and standardize qualitative tinnitus ques-tionnaires in Korea.
