“…A past history of middle-ear pathology in our population of children was reported in 31.6% of cases and did not seem to be a significant factor in the genesis of children's As to the incidence of tinnitus, they found no statistical difference between the group of children with no history of middle-ear disease and the group of children who had middle-ear disease [5,7,12]. All children were able to give a description of their noises which showed a wide range, similar to other studies in adults [6,11].…”

Despite its incidence, there are still few reports in literature relating to tinnitus in children. Almost all data were collected by means of questionnaires or in a limited population of children. In order to collect data in a homogeneous way and directly from the patients, the protocol of study proposed by Savastano has been applied to 1,100 children. The results showed tinnitus as present in 374 children but only 6.5% of the cases complained spontaneously about it. In all, 76.4% of the children demonstrated normal hearing, whereas 64.5% reported being bothered by their tinnitus. Tinnitus measurements were obtained and are reproducible in all patients older than 8 years of age. The loudness level was <10 dB in 48.6% of cases, which was higher than 10 dB in 51.4%. As for the frequency distribution, in most cases it appears to be between 0 and 1,000 Hz. There is a correspondence between the loudness level and masking level. A total inhibition of <60 s for most children with lower loudness was obtained. The present study demonstrates that the application in the infancy of a specific protocol of study allows the presence of tinnitus to be discovered, giving specific and detailed information about it so as to minimize its damage to be obtained. Moreover, for the first time, data regarding the measurement of tinnitus in childhood has been gathered.

“…The reason could be that otitis externa, external ear canal foreign bodies, impacted cerumen, acute and chronic otitis media with effusions, common causes of conductive hearing loss. Chronic otitis media is the most common middle ear disorder in children with tinnitus 10,24,31 . However, there was no statistical difference found between conductive and sensorineural type of hearing loss.…”

“…In a study done by Graham & Butler, the tinnitus prevalence rate was 66% in children with mild to moderate hearing loss and 29% in children with severe to profound hearing loss 9 . Mills & Cherry's study found a prevalence rate of 29.5% and 43.9% in the 5-15 years old children with sensorineural and conductive hearing loss, respectively 10 . Viani also found similar results in the children with hearing problem at the age range of 6 to 17 years…”

“…Comparison of children with middle ear disease to those with sensorineural hearing loss showed that 43.9% of children with middle ear disease had tinnitus while 29.5% with sensorineural hearing loss had tinnitus [16].…”

“…(1) Children rarely refer to symptoms that are not associated with pain [13]; (2) children have a less-developed body image [14]; (3) there are specific differences in the ascending auditory pathways in children [15]; (4) children may perceive tinnitus as a familiar experience [16]; (5) children may be more easily distracted by events of the external environments [17]; (6) do not perceive the medical significance of the symptom [18]; and (7) children's attention process is different from that in adults, and this might also have an effect on how they perceive tinnitus.…”

Keypoints1. Children experience tinnitus and might present similar suffering as observed in adults but they rarely mention the symptom unless directly asked about it. 2. Difficulty on concentration, sleeping, hearing, leisure activities, sports practice, and hyperacusis are the most frequent complaints associated to tinnitus in children. 3. Only a few population studies have been performed and have disclosed prevalence rates from 6% to 59%. Many factors might be implicated in the large interstudy variability of tinnitus prevalence in children. 4. Age, gender, hearing loss, motion sickness, hyperacusis, and noise exposure have been suggested as risk factors to development of tinnitus in children. 5. A proper model to investigate children should be developed for the purpose of obtaining accurate information about the prevalence of tinnitus in children. 6. Preventive measures should aim at hearing education about the risk of hearing loss and tinnitus. Prevention of noise exposure should be promoted as early as possible.
