UNASSIGNED: Objective. The majority of @entity392 @entity1 suffer from @entity393 . But a subgroup of @entity392 @entity1 show normal hearing thresholds in the conventional pure-tone audiometry (125   Hz-8   kHz). Here we explored whether the results of the high frequency audiometry (>8   kHz) provide relevant additional information in @entity392 @entity1 with normal conventional audiometry by comparing those with normal and pathological high frequency audiometry with respect to their demographic and clinical characteristics. Subjects and Methods. From the database of the Tinnitus Clinic at Regensburg we identified 75 @entity1 with normal hearing thresholds in the conventional pure-tone audiometry. We contrasted these @entity1 with normal and pathological high-frequency audiogram and compared them with respect to gender, age, @entity392 severity, pitch, laterality and duration, comorbid symptoms and triggers for @entity392 onset. Results. @entity1 with pathological high frequency audiometry were significantly older and had higher scores on the @entity392 questionnaires in comparison to @entity1 with normal high frequency audiometry. Furthermore, there was an association of high frequency audiometry with the laterality of @entity392 . Conclusion. In @entity392 @entity1 with normal pure-tone audiometry the high frequency audiometry provides useful additional information. The association between @entity392 and asymmetry of the high frequency audiometry suggests a potential causal role for the high frequency @entity393 in @entity392 etiopathogenesis.
