Nevertheless, patients with tinnitus may have normal hearing thresholds within the limits of a standard audiogram. It has been hypothesized that latent hearing loss may act as a potential trigger leading to tinnitus. High-frequency audiometry can serve as a marker of such an undiagnosed hearing loss.</p> <p><bold>The aim of the study</bold>. Assessment of hearing based on audiometry in the range above 8kHz in patients with normal hearing thresholds from 125 Hz to 8kHz; investigation of the correlation of acoustic characteristics of tinnitus with the range of increased hearing thresholds in patients with tinnitus.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. A study was conducted in which 76 people with normal hearing thresholds on an audiogram in the standard frequency range participated. The study group included 42 patients with chronic bilateral tinnitus. The control group consisted of 34 people without tinnitus.</p> <p><bold>Results and discussion</bold>. The data strongly suggest that a high-frequency increase in hearing thresholds is associated with both tinnitus and the patient's age (p&lt;0.05). The average tinnitus frequency in the study group was 10,815.4 Hz. In 71.4% of cases, the subjective frequency response of tinnitus was in the area of increasing the patient's hearing thresholds.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> Detection of acute hearing loss at high frequencies will allow the doctor to immediately begin treatment of sensorineural hearing loss, which, in turn, will have a positive effect on the manifestations of tinnitus. In cases where there is a chronic increase in hearing thresholds in the high-frequency range, the availability of objective data on the detected pathology becomes a valuable aid in consulting a patient with tinnitus, helping to more effectively convey information about his condition.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение. </bold>Этиология тиннитуса обусловлена сложным взаимодействием множества факторов, среди которых потеря слуха была признана наиболее значимой причиной. Тем не менее пациенты с шумом в ушах могут иметь нормальные пороги слуха в пределах стандартной аудиограммы. Была выдвинута гипотеза, что скрытая потеря слуха может выступать в качестве потенциального триггера, ведущего к возникновению тиннитуса. А маркером такого не диагностированного снижения слуха может служить высокочастотная аудиометрия.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования. </bold>Оценка слуха на основе аудиометрии в диапазоне свыше 8кГц у пациентов с нормальными порогами слышимости от 125 Гц до 8кГц.; исследование корреляции акустических характеристик тиннитуса с диапазоном повышения порогов слышимости у больных с шумом в ушах.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы. </bold>Проведено исследование, в котором приняли участие 76 человек с нормальными порогами слышимости на аудиограмме в стандартном диапазоне частот. В группу исследования вошли 42 пациента с хроническим двусторонним тиннитусом. Контрольная группа состояла из 34 человек без шума в ушах.</p> <p><bold>Результаты и обсуждение.</bold> Данные убедительно свидетельствуют о связи высокочастотного повышения порогов слышимости как с шумом в ушах, так и с возрастом пациента (р&lt;0,05). Средняя частота тиннитуса в группе исследования составила 10815,4 Гц. В 71,4 % случаев субъективная частотная характеристика шума в ушах находилась в области повышения порогов слуха пациента.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Выявление острого снижения слуха на высоких частотах позволит врачу незамедлительно начать лечение сенсоневральной тугоухости, что, в свою очередь, окажет положительное влияние на проявления шума в ушах. В случаях, когда отмечается хроническое повышение порогов слуха в высокочастотном диапазоне, наличие объективных данных о выявленной патологии становится ценным подспорьем в консультации пациента с тиннитусом, помогая более эффективно донести информацию о его состоянии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>tinnitus, high-frequency audiometry, hearing loss</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>тиннитус, высокочастотная аудиометрия, снижение слуха</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">De Ridder, D., Schlee W., Vanneste S., Londero A., Weisz N., Kleinjung T., Shekhawat G.
