Material & Method: Patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) were recruited in Taipei Veterans General Hospital. All patients underwent steroid treatment and then follow-up for 3 months. The evaluation included standardized questionnaires, such as: personality: Big Five Inventory (BFI-44); tinnitus: Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); emotion: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and hearing status: Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA). According to the THI scores, we divide patient into two groups: high impact (THI>=38) and low impact (THI<=36). And we also according to their hearing status, divide patient into two groups: recovery and non-recovery group. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the difference between the two groups with personality traits. Hierarchical Regression Analysis was used to analyze the interaction with personality and hearing status to tinnitus.
Results: In hospitalization, third-three patients were recruited it the study, however, high impact group (N= 17) were significant different with low impact group (N= 16) on the Neuroticism (p=0.020), anxiety (p<0.001), depression (p<0.001), loudness (p=0.009). But, there are no significant difference on the age (p= 0.149), sex (p= 0.373), PTA (p=0.090) and lesion side (p= 0.909). The correlation result shown that Neuroticism has significant positive correlation with tinnitus stress (r=0.561, p= 0.001).
After 3 months’ follow up, thirty patient finished this study, but the only significant difference was shown on the Neuroticism (p<0.001) between recovery group (N= 16) and non-recovery (N= 14). After Hierarchical Regression Analysis, Neuroticism and hearing recovery were significant interaction effect for tinnitus stress (p=0.043). Conclusion: Personality will affect the acute tinnitus stress in our SSNHL patients. After 3 months’ follow-up, Neuroticism still effect tinnitus stress in the hearing recovery group, but for the non-recovery patients, there are no effect between personality and tinnitus.
