The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is a questionnaire designed to assess the impact of tinnitus on an individual's daily life. It consists of various questions that evaluate difficulties related to concentration, social activities, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life due to tinnitus. The responses are scored to categorize the severity of tinnitus-related handicap into five grades, ranging from slight to catastrophic. This tool aids healthcare professionals in understanding the extent of a patient's tinnitus issues.
