The examination consisted of pure tone audiometry, an otoscopic examination, and a study\u2010specific questionnaire including questions from the Swedish National Health Survey. Data from the Swedish general population were retrieved from the National Health Survey. Grading of hearing according to the World Health Organization was applied.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 188 study participants were included in the study. Tinnitus was reported by 38% of the immigrants, and severe tinnitus was reported by 8%. Corresponding percentages from the general population were 17% and 3%. High\u2010frequency hearing loss (PTA<jats:sub>h3<\/jats:sub>\u00a0&gt;\u200925 worse ear) was found to be a significant predictor for tinnitus (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.032, odds ratio (OR): 2.74 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.40\u20135.35]).
