The Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) is a 25-item self-report questionnaire that doctors and audiologists may use to assess the severity of your tinnitus and the extent to which it affects your daily functioning. The questionnaire assesses how tinnitus affects your hearing, sleep, and emotions, among other factors.
The Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) is a vital tool for veterans to assess how tinnitus impacts daily life, from sleep disruptions to concentration difficulties. Developed through rigorous research, the TFI comprehensively assesses intrusiveness, control, cognitive interference, and emotional well-being.
The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI; Newman et al., 1996) is a 25-item self-report measure to determine perceived tinnitus handicap severity. The THI is a useful measure for determining the efficacy of psychological treatment for tinnitus (Zeman et al., 2011).
THI severity: very mild handicap = 0 to 16; mild handicap = 18 to 36; moderate handicap = 38 to 56; severe handicap = 58 to 76; catastrophic handicap = 78 to 100. TFI severity: not a problem = 0 to 17; small problem = 18 to 31; moderate problem = 32 to 53; big problem = 54 to 72; very big problem = 73 to 100.
This leads to a total score ranging from 0, indicating no tinnitus handicap, and 100, indicating the worst patients annoyance. It is composed of three subscales: a functional (12 items) subscale, an emotional (8 items) subscale, and a catastrophic subscale (5 items) [15].
