Abstract
Abstract:
Objective: to evaluate vitamin D levels in patients with tinnitus and to assess subjectively the efficacy of its supplementation in case of deficiency.
Methodology: 35 adult complaint of bilateral tinnitus with the age range from 20 to 50 years were included. All had bilateral normal audiological evaluation. Vitamin D level was assessed and those that had deficiency received supplementation for 3 months. Tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) was taken for the first time to all participants and another time for those received vitamin D supplementation after the 3 months regiment, and comparing the results.
Result: From the 35 participants there was 30 subjects had vitamin D deficiency (85.71 %). THI before treatment showed larger numbers in scale 3 then 2, 1, 4 with no patients with scale 5.while THI after treatment showed larger numbers in scale 1 then 2 & 3 with no patients with scale 4 & 5. There was no significant correlation between THI score & Vitamin D level and the age of the participant or the duration of the complaint.
Conclusion & recommendations: vitamin D deficiency is common among tinnitus patients. The result of vitamin D supplementation is promising in cases of idiopathic tinnitus. We recommend doing vitamin D assay in patients with idiopathic tinnitus and hence giving vitamin D supplementation in case of deficiency trying to improve the quality of life.
