“…Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) can be defined as a clinical disorder, in which clients exhibit normal otoacoustic emissions (OAE), but abnormal or absent auditory brainstem response (ABR) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The prevalence rates of ANSD in western countries are reported to vary from 11% to 0.5% 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.…”

“…TSI was developed by Meikle et al 17 that consists of 12 questions with 5-point rating scale. The severity of tinnitus can be classified into very mild category,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 mild,13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 moderate (25–36), severe (37–48), and catastrophic (49–60) based on TSI scores. Thus, the aim of the study was to determine the severity of tinnitus and its effects on daily life functioning using TFI and TSI in ANSD individuals.…”

ObjectiveOur study attempted to determine if tinnitus is a major concern in individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). The study also attempted to determine if pure tone average (PTA), speech identification scores (SIS), or reported duration of hearing loss could predict the tinnitus severity and functional handicap in adults with ANSD.MethodsTinnitus functional index (TFI) and tinnitus severity index (TSI) were administered on all the 40 participants diagnosed with ANSD.ResultsThe mean TFI score was 44.3, which suggested moderate degree of tinnitus related functional impairment. The mean TSI score was found to be 33.3, which suggested moderate degree of severity in individuals with ANSD. The study also showed that tinnitus causes functional impairment that leading to sleep disturbances, emotional problems, and affecting the quality of life. There was no significant correlation (P > 0.05) between PTA, SIS, reported onset of hearing loss and scores of TFI or TSI.ConclusionTinnitus in individuals with ANSD should also be given priority during assessment and provide appropriate tinnitus management.
