The relationship between tinnitus and hearing loss has been studied previously. In this paper, we examined the relationship of tinnitus frequencies, pure tone audiometric patterns and diseases causing hearing loss. As a result, we reconfirmed the strong relationship between tinnitus frequency and hearing loss, and considered that analysis of tinnitus frequency, pure tone audiometric pattern, and the disease causing the hearing loss can be used to suggest the lesion location.
Key words : tinnitus frequency, pure tone audiometric patternsl
