Objectives: The objectives of the research are to analyze aspects of quality of life related to functional and emotional status and difficulties in performing daily activities that may result from tinnitus, and to examine their association with general, demographic characteristics and audiological assessment results. Study design: A cross-sectional study with historical data was conducted. Participants and methods: The study included 30 participants over the age of 18 who visited the Department of Audiology and Phoniatrics at the Clinical Hospital Center Osijek due to tinnitus in 2023. All participants underwent a clinical examination and audiological assessment and completed the THI questionnaire during the initial examination. Results: According to gender, 16 (53 %) are women and 14 (47 %) are men. Most participants can not determine the pitch at which tinnitus occurs, but of the 10 (33 %) participants who identify a high pitch, significantly more identify a noise above 2001 Hz according to the FIŠ (Fisher's exact test, P = 0.004). According to the THI questionnaire, 17 (57 %) participants have mild difficulties caused by tinnitus, and two participants (7 %) have catastrophic consequences from tinnitus. Conclusion: The interpretation and personal experience of the tinnitus, as well as the impact of the tinnitus on the quality of life, are subjective and specific to each individual regardless of the characteristics of the tinnitus and the variables examined. General demographic characteristics and noise characteristics do not affect the results of the THI questionnaire. Simple advice on adapting to the presence of noise in the ear and cognitive-behavioral therapy are important aspects of treating this problem.
