Objectives: The Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) has been optimised as a diagnostic tool for quantifying the functional impact of tinnitus in US veteran and civilian groups. However, the TFI has not been evaluated for use in other English-speaking cl... Read More about Performance of the Tinnitus Functional Index as a diagnostic instrument in a UK clinical population.

Hyperacusis Questionnaire as a Tool for Measuring Hypersensitivity to Sound in a Tinnitus Research Population (2015)
Journal Article
Fackrell, K., Fearnley, C., Hoare, D. J., & Sereda, M. (2015). Hyperacusis Questionnaire as a Tool for Measuring Hypersensitivity to Sound in a Tinnitus Research Population. BioMed Research International, 2015, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/290425

Hypersensitivity to external sounds is often comorbid with tinnitus and may be significant for adherence to certain types of tinnitus management. Therefore, a clear measure of sensitivity to sound is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate t...
