          Abstract

          Objective:

          The aim of this study is to adapt Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire (HQ) into Turkish for the use in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with hyperacusis.

          Method:

          HQ and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to a total of 529 participants (320 female, 209 male), aged 18 to 73 (mean age: 29.76±10.59) years who were randomly selected from the general population. For the evaluation of the data, confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, analysis of variance, and Sidak correction test were used.

          Results:

          In the reliability analysis, the Cronbach’s alpha (aC) internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.81. Factor analysis revealed three subdimensions (attentional, social, and emotional). The total variance of these three subdimensions were 63%, and the internal consistency of the subdimensions was also high (αC >0.70). Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling results indicated that three-factor solutions with 14 items met the criteria for the adequacy of fit among the Turkish patients. The mean score for hyperacusis was estimated as 15.69±6.63 points.There was a positive, weak, but significant association between hyperacusis and anxiety (r=0.357, p=0.01, p<0.05). The patients who were exposed to noise were found to have higher levels of hyperacusis, compared to those who were not (t=6.78, p=0.01, p<0.05). The patients who had decreased noise tolerance over time were found to be higher hyperacusis levels than those without (t=4.83, p=0.01, p<0.05).

          Conclusion

          Based on these measurements, 14 questions and three-factor solutions were found to be a valid and reliable tool.

          ÖZ

          Amaç:

          Bu çalışmada hiperakuzili hastaların tanı ve tedavilerinde kullanılmak üzere Khalfa Hiperakuzi Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanması amaçlandı.

          Yöntem:

          Genel popülasyondan rastgele seçilmiş 18-73 yaş arası (M= 29.,6, SD= 10,59) toplam 529 kişiye (320 kadın, 209 erkek) Türkçeye çevrilen Khalfa Hiperakuzi Ölçeği ve Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği uygulandı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler, t-testi, varyans analizi ve Sidak testi kullanıldı.

          Bulgular:

          Yapılan güvenirlik analizinde Cronbach alfa (αC) iç tutarlılık katsayısı 0,81 olarak tespit edildi. Faktör analizi sonucunda ise, üç adet alt boyut (dikkat, sosyal ve duygusal) tespit edilmiştir. Bu üç alt boyutun toplam varyansı %63 olarak bulundu ve alt boyutların iç tutarlılığı yüksek elde edildi (αC >0,70). Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile yapılan uyum istatistiklerinin Türk hastalardan toplanan gerçek verilerle kabul edilebilir düzeyde uyumlu olduğu görüldü. Hiperakuzi puanın ortalaması 15,69 (±6,63) olarak saptandı. Hiperakuzi ile anksiyete arasında pozitif yönde, düşük düzeyde güçlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edildi (r=0,357, p<0,05). Gürültüye maruz kalan hastaların hiperakuzi düzeylerinin, gürültüye maruz kalmayan hastalara kıyasla, daha yüksek olduğu görüldü (t=6,78, p<0,05). Zamanla gürültüye olan tahammüllerinde azalma olan hastaların hiperakuzi düzeyleri, olmayanlara kıyasla, daha yüksek bulundu (t=4,83, p<0,05).

          Sonuç:

          Yapılan ölçümler sonucunda 14 soru ve üç faktörlü yapının geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu sonucuna varıldı.

          A neurophysiological approach to tinnitus: clinical implications.

          This paper presents a neurophysiological approach to tinnitus and discusses its clinical implications. A hypothesis of discordant damage of inner and outer hair cells systems in tinnitus generation is outlined. A recent animal model has facilitated the investigation of the mechanisms of tinnitus and has been further refined to allow for the measurement of tinnitus pitch and loudness. The analysis of the processes involved in tinnitus detection postulates the involvement of an abnormal increase of gain within the auditory system. Moreover, it provides a basis for treating patients with hyperacusis, which we are considering to be a pre-tinnitus state. Analysis of the process of tinnitus perception allows for the possibility of facilitating the process of tinnitus habituation for the purpose of its alleviation. The combining of theoretical analysis with clinical findings has resulted in the creation of a multidisciplinary Tinnitus Centre. The foundation of the Centre focuses on two goals: the clinical goal is to remove tinnitus perception from the patient's consciousness, while directing research toward finding a mechanism-based method for the suppression of tinnitus generators and processes responsible for enhancement of tinnitus-related neuronal activity.
