Introduction: Tinnitus habituation and tinnitus acceptance both describe an apparent lack of responding to tinnitus
noise. However, no prior studies have evaluated the possible overlap between tinnitus habituation and acceptance
processes in chronic tinnitus sufferers. Objectives: We examined responses to the seven acceptance items from
the Tinnitus Response Scales (TRS) along with 19 items that tapped the perceptual/behavioural aspects of tinnitus
habituation. Materials and Methods: A large sample of chronic tinnitus sufferers (n = 273) were recruited via
advertisements placed at tinnitus clinics and websites and in the media. They were asked to complete an online survey
asking about their tinnitus history and recent experiences of tinnitus habituation, sensitization to tinnitus noise, and
tinnitus acceptance, and distress. Results: Exploratory factor analysis showed that a single factor solution explained
40% of the variance in the scale items. Acceptance and tinnitus habituation (vs. sensitization) subscale scores were
highly negatively correlated with each other. Conclusion: Tinnitus acceptance and tinnitus habituation may describe
related cognitive and perceptual/behavioral aspects of tinnitus adaptation. That is in this study, tinnitus-habituation
items tapped perceptual awareness and behavioral responses to tinnitus, whereas tinnitus acceptance items tapped
cognitive responses to the noise (i.e. lack of need to respond to the noise).

INTRODUCTION
Tinnitus is the perception of noise in the ears or
head in the absence of an external acoustic source1-3.
Most people with chronic tinnitus are not too bothered by
the noise and eventually learn to adapt to it4. In contrast,
people with problem tinnitus may be severely affected by
the noise in potentially engrossing (e.g. work, hobbies)
and less stimulating contexts (e.g. sleep); whereas
non tinnitus-complainers tend to be aware of the noise
only in low-distraction situations5. Thus, some people
appear to become sensitized to and do not adapt to the
noise, increasing their chances of experiencing tinnitus
distress3,6 and related problems such as concentration
difficulties, frustration, annoyance, irritability, fear,

Pendahuluan: Tinnitus habituasi dan tinnitus penerimaan kedua menggambarkan jelas kurangnya menanggapi tinnitus
suara. Namun, tidak ada penelitian sebelumnya telah mengevaluasi kemungkinan tumpang tindih antara tinnitus habituasi dan penerimaan
proses pada penderita tinnitus kronis. Tujuan: Kami meneliti tanggapan terhadap tujuh item penerimaan dari
Response Tinnitus Timbangan (TRS) bersama dengan 19 item yang disadap aspek persepsi / perilaku tinnitus
pembiasaan. Bahan dan Metode: Sampel besar penderita tinnitus kronis (n = 273) direkrut melalui
iklan yang ditempatkan di klinik tinnitus dan website dan di media. Mereka diminta untuk menyelesaikan survei online
bertanya tentang sejarah mereka tinnitus dan pengalaman baru-baru tinnitus pembiasaan, sensitisasi terhadap tinnitus suara, dan
penerimaan tinnitus, dan kesusahan. Hasil: analisis faktor eksplorasi menunjukkan bahwa solusi faktor tunggal menjelaskan
40% dari varians dalam item skala. Penerimaan dan tinnitus habituasi (vs sensitisasi) skor subskala yang
sangat berkorelasi negatif dengan satu sama lain. Kesimpulan: penerimaan Tinnitus dan tinnitus pembiasaan dapat menggambarkan
aspek kognitif dan perseptual / perilaku terkait adaptasi tinnitus. Yang dalam penelitian ini, tinnitus-pembiasaan
item mengetuk kesadaran persepsi dan respon perilaku untuk tinnitus, sedangkan item penerimaan tinnitus disadap
tanggapan kognitif untuk suara (yaitu kurangnya kebutuhan untuk menanggapi kebisingan).

PENDAHULUAN
Tinnitus adalah persepsi suara di telinga atau
kepala tanpa adanya suatu source1-3 akustik eksternal.
Kebanyakan orang dengan tinnitus kronis tidak terlalu terganggu oleh
kebisingan dan akhirnya belajar untuk beradaptasi dengan IT4. Sebaliknya,
orang-orang dengan masalah tinnitus dapat sangat terpengaruh oleh
suara di berpotensi mengasyikkan (misalnya pekerjaan, hobi)
dan konteks kurang merangsang (misalnya tidur); sedangkan
non tinnitus-pengeluh cenderung menyadari suara
hanya rendah gangguan situations5. Dengan demikian, beberapa orang
tampak menjadi peka untuk dan tidak beradaptasi dengan
kebisingan, meningkatkan kesempatan mereka untuk mengalami tinnitus
distress3,6 dan masalah terkait seperti konsentrasi
kesulitan, frustrasi, jengkel, marah, takut,
