Tinnitus, characterized by the perception of sound without an external source, is a widespread condition affecting approximately 15% of the global population, with a notably higher prevalence reaching up to 25% among older adults. The etiology of tinnitus is complex and multifactorial, encompassing factors such as hearing loss, stress, psychiatric disorders, structural abnormalities, and even tumors. The impact of tinnitus can range from mild, transient episodes to severe disruptions in daily life, potentially leading to psychiatric comorbidities. Studies suggest that severely debilitating tinnitus affects about 3% of individuals, with associated disability costs exceeding 5,500 USD annually per person. The absence of objective methods for assessing tinnitus risk complicates research and clinical practice. This study utilized clinical data from Taiwan to characterize tinnitus features and identify potential risk factors within the local population. Building on existing literature and clinical experience, a normative model-based tinnitus screening tool was developed specifically for Taiwanese individuals. The analysis stratified tinnitus patients according to risk levels and compared these results with clinical assessments. Preliminary findings demonstrate an accuracy of 88.2% in identifying high-risk tinnitus cases. This screening tool shows promise as an objective reference for Taiwanese individuals, their caregivers, and healthcare providers to evaluate tinnitus status and facilitate timely intervention for those at elevated risk. Additionally, it has the potential to mitigate anxiety related to tinnitus status and healthcare decisions, thereby reducing the psychological, economic, medical, and societal burdens associated with the condition.
