One of the most challenging topics in tinnitus clinical studies is the measuring method used. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) are frequently used in tinnitus.
Aim: To verify the relationship between VAS and THI scores in tinnitus patients in a prospective study.
Materials and methods: 43 patients classified their tinnitus according to VAS and THI, and both scores were compared through the Spearman's correlation coefficient test.
Results: There was a correlation between the VAS and THI scores.
Conclusion: There is correlation between VAS and THI scores in patients with sensorineural tinnitus.
