Tinnitus is a fairly common symptom in both adults and children. The interdisciplinary nature of the problem and the complexity of diagnosis determine the priority of screening methods for tinnitus assessment in daily clinical practice. Questionnaires described in national and international guidelines aim not only to clarify tinnitus characteristics but also to assess the severity of tinnitus-related problems.

This review article analyzes current validated instruments used for self-assessment of subjective tinnitus. Publications presented in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus over the past 30 years were reviewed. Approaches to screening for subjective tinnitus can be divided into two groups: instruments designed to clarify the severity of tinnitus and questionnaires aimed at identifying impairments in various areas of life in patients with tinnitus. Most publications, including Russian and international recommendations, describe the use of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaire for self-assessment of the level of psycho-emotional disorders associated with tinnitus.

Тиннитус является достаточно широко распространенным симптомом как у взрослых, так и у детей. Междисциплинарный характер проблемы, сложности диагностики определяют приоритет скрининговых методов оценки ушного шума в ежедневной клинической практике. Описанные в национальных и международных рекомендациях опросники направлены не только на уточнение характеристик тиннитуса, но и на оценку степени выраженности проблем, связанных с ушным шумом.

В обзорной статье проанализированы современные валидизированные инструменты, применяющиеся для самооценки субъективного ушного шума. Были изучены публикации, представленные в информационных базах PubMed, Web of Science и Scopus за последние 30 лет. Подходы к скрининговой оценке субъективного ушного шума можно разделить на две группы: инструменты, предназначенные для уточнения степени тяжести тиннитуса, и опросники, направленные на выявление нарушений различных сфер жизни пациентов с ушным шумом. В большинстве публикаций, включая российские и международные рекомендации, для самооценки уровня психоэмоциональных расстройств, связанных с шумом в ушах (тиннитусом), описано применение опросника Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI).
