The purpose of this study was to describe patients with tinnitus and MSNHL and factors predicting hearing-aid uptake (HAU). We conducted a retrospective chart review with regression modeling of patients presenting to a specialty tinnitus clinic over a 2.5-year period. Stepwise logistic regression on data from patient charts was conducted. Of 133 patients seen, two-thirds had MSNHL (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.9\u201375.0; mean age\u2009=\u200953.4 years; standard deviation\u2009=\u200914.5); approximately 50% had severe-to-catastrophic tinnitus. Logistic regression indicated that four-frequency pure-tone average (FFPTA; left) (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.3899, \u03c7\n          2\u2009=\u200910.96, degrees of freedom [DF]\u2009=\u20091, p\u2009=\u20090.0009) and age (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.1273, \u03c7\n          2\u2009=\u20094.86, DF\u2009=\u20091, p\u2009=\u20090.0274) were positively associated with HAU; tinnitus severity was inversely related (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20091.0533, \u03c7\n          2\u2009=\u20094.24, DF\u2009=\u20091, p\u2009=\u20090.0395). Adjusting for key variables, odds of receiving hearing aids was 1.14 (95% CI: 1.01\u20131.27) times higher with every year increase in age, 1.48 (95% CI: 1.17\u20131.86) times higher per one point increase in FFPTA (left), and 0.35 (95% CI: 0.13\u20130.95) times less per one point increase in tinnitus severity score. Reasons why HAU was not high for this special sample of young adults with severe tinnitus and MSNHL are discussed; hearing aid treatment requires extensive counseling and follow-up for this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1641739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]],"date-time":"2018-06-15T22:38:27Z","timestamp":1529102307000},"page":"123-134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Hearing Aids as a Treatment for Tinnitus Patients with Slight to Mild Sensorineural Hearing Loss"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Carole","family":"Johnson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johnathan","family":"Baldwin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristen","family":"Barton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caitlyn","family":"Mathews","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Danhauer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suzanne","family":"Kimball","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]]},"container-title":["Seminars in Hearing"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0038-1641739.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]],"date-time":"2018-06-15T22:38:29Z","timestamp":1529102309000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0038-1641739"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,15]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0038-1641739","relation":{},"ISSN":["0734-0451","1098-8955"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0734-0451","type":"print"},{"value":"1098-8955","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,5]]}}}
