Objective To report the therapeutic value of sulodexide monotherapy in the management of patients with chronic subjective idiopathic tinnitus. Study Design Randomized double-blinded controlled trial. Setting Single tertiary care institution. Subjects and Methods Observations from 124 patients who received either sulodexide or placebo were collected from the patients' medical records. Computer-generated tables were used to allocate treatments. Patients took 1 tablet of the drug or placebo each morning and evening for 40 consecutive days. The response was assessed by the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the Mini-Tinnitus Questionnaire. Results Between 2014 and 2017, 124 patients were divided into 2 treatment arms. The sulodexide group encompassed 63 patients, whereas the placebo arm contained 61 patients. Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and Mini-Tinnitus Questionnaire scores were more decreased in the sulodexide arm compared to the placebo group ( P = .03 and P < .01, respectively). Conclusions Sulodexide monotherapy decreases chronic subjective idiopathic tinnitus.

“…[12] The Mini TQ may help to quantify tinnitus distress by defining grades of tinnitus symptoms and following the improvement in tinnitus distress after treatment or therapy as part of the overall tinnitus rehabilitation. So far, the Mini TQ has been translated into several languages, including Portuguese [12] , Greek [13] , Arabic [14] , Dutch [15] , Chinese [16] , Malay [17] and Italian. [18] However, there is still a shortage of translated versions of the TQ 12 to be accepted as a worldwide questionnaire.…”

Objective: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Mini-Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ 12-T). Methods: The study consisted of 120 patients with tinnitus (60 F + 60 M; Mean Age: 46.8±15.1 years). Audiological evaluation, tinnitus mapping, tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) and TQ 12-T were applied to the participants. Internal consistency and reliability were assessed by Cronbach's alpha. To evaluate the accuracy of the original findings, a retest was performed with 20% of the participants. The validity of the TQ 12-T was assessed, analyzing the correlation with THI. We assessed construct validity by analyzing the patients according to their age and tinnitus duration. Results: High internal consistency, reliability (α=0.87) and a high intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 0.96, p < 0.001) were found. The internal consistency reliabilities of the two subscales were α=0.74 and α= 0.84 for "health anxiety" and "cognitive distress," respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between THI and TQ 12-T total scores (r=0.985, p<0.01). Conclusion: TQ 12-T is a valid, reliable and brief questionnaire. TQ 12-T could easily be used alongside other tinnitus or health-related questionnaires since it takes only a few minutes to complete.

“…To enable a faster but equally reliable assessment of tinnitus related distress the TQ 12 was initially developed by Hiller and Goebel (2004) . The TQ 12 was validated in German ( Hiller and Goebel, 2004 ), Portuguese ( Cerejeira et al, 2009 ), Greek ( Panagiotopoulos et al, 2015 ), Chinese ( Kam, 2012 ), Dutch ( Vanneste et al, 2011 ), and Arabic ( El Beaino and Eter, 2017 ). Good psychometric properties were reported for all of the translated versions of the TQ 12: the psychometric analyses across various validations showed good reliability (internal consistency: α = 0.86–0.90; retest-reliability: k = 0.89–0.91) and high correlation with the TQ total score ( r = 0.90–0.93) ( Hiller and Goebel, 2004 ; Kam, 2012 ; Zeman et al, 2012 ; Panagiotopoulos et al, 2015 ).…”

Objectives: The use of reliable and valid psychometric tools to assess subjectively experienced distress due to tinnitus is broadly recommended. The purpose of the study was the validation of the Italian version of Tinnitus Questionnaire 12 item short form (TQ 12-I) as a brief test for the assessment of patient reported tinnitus-related distress.Design: Cross-sectional multicenter questionnaire study.Setting: Tinnitus Center, European Hospital (Rome), the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, “Guglielmo da Saliceto” Hospital (Piacenza), and the Department of Audiology and Phoniatry, “Mater Domini” University Hospital (Catanzaro).Participants: One hundred and forty-three outpatients with tinnitus treated at one of the participating medical centers.Main Outcome Measures: Tinnitus Questionnaire Short Form (TQ 12-I), compared to the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey.Results: Our factor analysis revealed a two-factor solution (health anxiety, cognitive distress), accounting for 53.5% of the variance. Good internal consistency for the total score (α = 0.86) and both factors (α = 0.79–0.87) was found. Moderate correlations with the THI (r = 0.65, p < 0.001) indicated good convergent validity. Tinnitus distress was further correlated to increased psychological distress (r = 0.31, p < 0.001) and reduced emotional well-being (r = -0.34, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The study clearly showed that the TQ 12-I is a reliable and valid instrument to assess tinnitus-related distress which can be used in clinical practice as well as for research.
