由于慢性和致残性耳鸣的心理投诉的尺寸进行了调查，通过耳鸣问卷（TQ），管理到一个样本的138名耳鸣患者已被送往心身医院。因子分析显示，耳鸣相关的模式的情绪和认知困扰，侵入性，听觉知觉困难，睡眠障碍，和躯体的投诉可以区分。认知扭曲和不适当的态度耳鸣和它的个人后果被发现是高度相关的，形成一个更广泛和更普遍的困扰因素内的一个亚组。通过系统地改变待提取因子的数量来检查所获得因子溶液的稳定性。基于这种方法的结果，量表提出的问卷，可用于临床和科学工作，具体评估耳鸣相关的痛苦和严重程度的主要领域。进一步评估的工具的影响进行了讨论。
Dimensions of psychological complaints due to chronic and disabling tinnitus were investigated by means of the Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ), administered to a sample of 138 tinnitus sufferers who had been admitted to a psychosomatic hospital. Factor analysis revealed that tinnitus-related patterns of emotional and cognitive distress, intrusiveness, auditory perceptual difficulties, sleep disturbances, and somatic complaints can be differentiated. Cognitive distortions and inappropriate attitudes towards the tinnitus and it's personal consequences were found to be highly intercorrelated forming a subgroup within a broader and more general distress factor. The stability of the factor solution obtained was examined by systematically varying the number of factors to be extracted. Based on the results of this method, scales are proposed for the questionnaire which can be used in clinical and scientific work to specifically assess major areas of tinnitus-related distress and their degree of severity. Implications for a further evaluation of the instrument are discussed.
