Abstract
We found large enough differences in THI and HADS scores to successfully classify patients with tinnitus into 5 distinct grades that accounted for tinnitus severity, psychological problems, and catastrophic episodes. We found significant improvements in tinnitus severity and psychological problems in the higher (more severe) grades when this system was used to guide treatment. This system not only provided a reasonably reliable categorization system, it simplified treatment without sacrificing efficacy.
