Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ-T). The study was conducted with 103 patients who had been experiencing tinnitus for longer than three months. All participants completed the TPFQ-T, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the magnitude estimation. Cronbach's alpha was 0.88. Cronbach's alpha was also computed for every one of the four subscales: a=0.67 for sleep, a=0.72 for hearing, a=0.86 for concentration, and a=0.75 for emotion. There was a correlation between the overall score obtained from the TPFQ-T and its subcategories and other questionnaires measuring corresponding factors. Overall, the findings of this investigation show that the TPFQ-T is both reliable and valid. As a result, the current translated version of the TPFQ-T is suitable for patients who speak Turkish as their first language and serves as an effective tinnitus questionnaire.
