在哥德堡市（425，000名居民）随机选择3，600名成年人，按年龄和性别分层，通过邮件询问耳鸣问题。我们收到了66%的有用的答案，14.2%的人患有耳鸣“经常”或“总是”。耳鸣在男性中比女性更常见。耳鸣在左耳比右耳更常见。2.4%的人患有严重程度最严重的耳鸣，“整天困扰着我”。耳鸣在听力损失患者中明显比主观听力正常的患者更常见。睡眠障碍是常见的，随着耳鸣的严重程度而增加。大多数被询问的受试者希望进一步检查和治疗。
Three thousand six hundred randomly selected adults in the cith of Gothenburg (425,000 inhabitants) stratified by age and gender, were questioned by mail concerning tinnitus. We received 66% useful answers, 14.2% suffered from tinnitus 'often' or 'always'. Tinnitus was more common in males than in females. Tinnitus was much more common in the left than in the right ear. 2.4% of the whole population suffered from the worst severity degree, 'tinnitus plagues me all day'. Tinnitus was clearly more common with hearing loss than with subjectively normal hearing. Sleep disturbances were common and increased with tinnitus severity. A majority of the questioned subjects wanted further examination and treatment.
