“…The Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ) that was developed in 2014 [30] has been translated into other languages [31] and possesses a number of advantages. First, the TPFQ is a factorial structure that reveals subdomains traits of patients, namely, concentration (items 1 to 3), emotion (items 4 to 6), hearing (items 7 to 9), and sleep (items 10 to 12).…”

Tinnitus is a prevalent condition among different populations. As the nature of tinnitus is subjective, self-reported measures have been validated and utilized to assess psychometric properties of tinnitus patients. Without exception, Chinese clinicians have administered these measures to patients in mainland China after cross-cultural adaptation. However, shortcomings of these Mandarin measures limited the widespread use of them. Measures which can be fully adapted to the context of Chinese tinnitus patients are still needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Mandarin Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ-M) in a Chinese population. In this observational questionnaire study, we recruited 350 subjects with primary tinnitus from hearing clinics of West China Hospital and administered the TPFQ-M, Mandarin Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI-M), and a systematic hearing test battery. The subjects finished the TPFQ-M within 3 minutes. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that a 4-factor model was close to fit. The Cronbach alpha of TPFQ-M was 0.925, and test-retest reliability was reasonable with a 7-day test interval (ICC = 0.857, P < .001; 95% CI: 0.764–0.915). Test-retest reliabilities of subdomains were not parallel to each other, with 0.612 for Emotion, 0.766 for Sleep, 0.860 for Concentration, and 0.897 for Hearing. The convergent validity of TPFQ-M compared to the THI-M was moderate ( r = 0.705, P < .001; 95% CI: 0.647–0.754). The TPFQ-M, which shows high internal consistency and good factor structure, is simple and relatively easy to administer in busy clinics. Additional in-depth research involving multiple centers in mainland China is warranted.

“…The higher score represented the higher severity of patients' quality of life. 12 Data processing and questionnaire result analysis for each factor validity and reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha (p<0.5=reliable) with the help of software statistic package SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) where data normality was primarily tested. The validity test used Spearman correlation coefficient, and the descriptive and clinical demographic data were counted.…”

Background: Complaints of tinnitus sufferers are generally subjective, while there is no objective examination in establishing the diagnosis of tinnitus so far, so that a questionnaire is needed to help establish it. The limitations of objectively assessing tinnitus have led to self-report questionnaires as the best option for evaluating tinnitus symptoms and measuring the extent to which quality of life is negatively impacted. Objective: to compare the scores between the Indonesian Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and the Indonesian version of the 12-item Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ). Method: A descriptive analytic study with a cross sectional design, where both variables were observed at the same time. This research was conducted at the Neurotology Outpatient Unit (URJ) RSUD Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya from September 2019 to April 2020. Result: A total of 29 tinnitus patients who met the criteria were divided by age, gender, degree of hearing loss, THI score, THI severity, and TPFQ score. Conclusion: The results of the correlation test between the degree of hearing loss with THI-Indonesia and the degree of hearing loss with the Indonesian 12-item TPFQ showed no difference in the results, namely both were not correlated, so the Indonesian 12-items TPFQ was valid and reliable, and it could be used to shorten the assessment time of tinnitus sufferers in hectic outpatient clinics. ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Keluhan penderita tinitus umumnya bersifat subyektif, sedangkan sampai saat ini belum ada sarana pemeriksaan obyektif dalam menegakkan diagnosis tinitus, maka diperlukan kuesioner untuk membantu. Keterbatasan menilai tinitus secara obyektif telah menjadikan kuesioner mandiri (self-report) sebagai pilihan terbaik untuk mengevaluasi gejala tinitus dan mengukur sejauh mana kualitas hidup terkena dampak negatif. Tujuan: membandingkan skor antara Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) Indonesia dengan Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire (TPFQ) 12-item versi Indonesia. Metode: Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang, dimana kedua variabel diamati dalam waktu yang bersamaan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Unit Rawat Jalan (URJ) Neurotologi RSUD Dr. Soetomo pada bulan September 2019 sampai dengan April 2020. Hasil: Sebanyak 29 pasien tinitus yang memenuhi kriteria dibagi berdasarkan kategori usia, jenis kelamin, derajat gangguan pendengaran, skor THI, derajat keparahan THI, dan skor TPFQ. Kesimpulan: Hasil uji korelasi antara derajat gangguan pendengaran dengan THI-Indonesia maupun derajat gangguan pendengaran dengan TPFQ 12-item Indonesia menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan hasil, yaitu sama-sama tidak berkorelasi, sehingga TPFQ 12-item Indonesia adalah valid dan handal dapat digunakan untuk mempersingkat penilaian penderita tinitus di klinik rawat jalan yang sibuk

“…THI was first developed in English. Over the years, it has been translated into several languages including German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Danish, Chinese -Cantonese, Thai, and Korean [5][6][7][8][9][10] . Within India, THI has been translated into Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil languages.…”

Tinnitus is estimated to be present in 10%-15% of the general population. The severity of tinnitus is judged based on the handicap, caused by it. Several tools have been developed for assessing the handicap level. One such tool is the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). This self-reporting questionnaire has 25 questions, in the English language. The questions describe common situations, covering three domains viz. functional, emotional and catastrophic. The patient has to answer 'Yes, No or Sometimes'. Globally, THI is accepted to have great utility, both in establishing the baseline and monitoring the efficacy of treatment. THI has been translated into several other languages. This article describes our endeavor to translate the same, into the Telugu language. We obtained due permission from the original author. In translation, a standard methodology was employed. The THI English version was translated into Telugu by two linguistic experts. The translated version was verified by experienced audiologists, for faithful reproduction to the original and for lucidity. Wherever required, the translation was suitably amended. All the professionals, above mentioned were native Telugu speakers, who were also proficient in English. Each question was checked with nontechnical lay persons, for easy comprehension and lucidity. Then, all the questions were back-translated into English, and checked for faithfulness. This Telugu version was christened as THI-T. This THI-T version was field tested and validated in 60 subjects with tinnitus, and in another 60 subjects, without tinnitus. Both the groups were provided with the Telugu version questionnaire and were asked to answer the questions. Statistical analysis were done using the Cronbach's Alpha test for internal consistency and test retest reliability was confirmed using the Pearson's 2 tailed correlation to determine statistical significance respectively. Results showed significant efficacy and reliability, of the translated THI-T tool.
