The purpose was to investigate patients with unexplained pulsatile and non-pulsatile tinnitus by means of MR imaging of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and to correlate the clinical subtype of tinnitus with the location of a blood vessel (in the internal auditory canal or at the cisternal part of the VIIIth cranial nerve). Clinical presentation of tinnitus and perceptive hearing loss were correlated. In 47 patients with unexplained tinnitus, an MR examination of the CPA was performed. Virtual endoscopy reconstructions were obtained using a 3D axial thin-section high-resolution heavily T2-weighted gradient echo constructive interference in steady state (CISS) data-set. High-resolution T2-weighted CISS images showed a significantly higher number of vascular loops in the internal auditory canal in patients with arterial pulsatile tinnitus compared to patients with non-pulsatile tinnitus (P<0.00001). Virtual endoscopy images were used to investigate vascular contacts at the cisternal part of the VIIIth cranial nerve in patients with low pitch and high pitch non-pulsatile tinnitus. A significantly different distribution of the vascular contacts (P=0.0320) was found. Furthermore, a correlation between the clinical presentation of non-pulsatile tinnitus (high pitch and low pitch) and the perceptive hearing loss was found (P=0.0235). High-resolution heavily T2-weighted CISS images and virtual endoscopy of the CPA can be used to evaluate whether a vascular contact is present in the internal auditory canal or at the cisternal part of the VIIIth cranial nerve and whether the location of the vascular contact correlates with the clinical subtype of tinnitus. Our findings suggest that there is a tonotopical structure of the cisternal part of the VIIIth cranial nerve. A correlation between the clinical presentation of tinnitus and hearing loss was found.

The term tinnitus is derived from the Latin word tinnire, meaning to ring. Although it is often referred to as "ringing in the ears, tinnitus can be perceived as many different sounds including hissing, clicking or whistling. India being a multilingual country needs to develop and standardize tinnitus questionnaire in Indian language. There are no significant test materials available with respect to Indian context based on Hindi, which can be routinely used by the professionals to assess the primary effect of tinnitus in patients. Thus, a need was felt to develop instrument in Hindi that can be used as per the ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) classification system in all over the country.The study aims to evaluate the impact of tinnitus on quality of life of clients having tinnitus with and without hearing loss by using primary function questionnaire (TPF-Hindi). The present study attempts to transadapt and standardize Tinnitus Primary function Questionnaire in Hindi. And administer both the questionnaires (TPFQ-H vs THQ-H) on the tinnitus clients with and without hearing loss and compare the impact of tinnitus in terms of quality of life in subjects with tinnitus with hearing loss and without hearing loss. A 12-item questionnaire was administered to 50 patients (tinnitus with hearing loss and without hearing loss) and compared between two questionnaires Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire and Tinnitus Handicapped Questionnaire (TPFQ-H & THQ-H).The results of the current study were analysed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSSv 20.0). Scores were positively correlated with the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire. There is significant correlation between both the scales and reliability between the scales is also good.
