ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: The most useful tool for checking tinnitus frequency is pure tone audiometer. If we know the onomatopoeia of each frequency sound of pure tone audiometer in normal hearers, we can make a reverse use of presuming the tinnitus frequency of tinnitus patients. Subjects and Methods: To the 100 normal hearers (33 ears of 32 males, 72 ears of 68 females) of third decade, the most comfortable level sound of each frequncy (125, 250, 500, 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 6k and 8 kHz) of the pure tone audiometer was given for 5-10 seconds, then let them to record the onomatopoiea of each sound. Results: 1) “pwu:, pwug, pu:, pu:𝖍, pu𝖍, pi𝖍” and “tu:, tu𝖍” are expressed at 125 and 250 Hz. 2) “i:, i𝖍, u:, u𝖍, w𝖍, ui𝖍” are presented 59.7% at low tones of 125, 250 and 500 Hz. 3) “p’u:, p’u𝖍, p’o, p’i:, p’i𝖍, p’i:k, phi:, phi𝖍” belong to 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Hz in 66.2%. 4) “ts’i:, ts’ik, ts’i𝖍, shi, shi𝖍, shik” come under high tones of 4000 to 8000 Hz as 80% but no under low tones. 5) “k’i:, k’i:k, k’ik, k’i𝖍” appear at only 6000 and 8000 Hz. 6) “t’i, t’u:, t’u𝖍” are distributed at all test frequencies except 125, 1000 and 8000 Hz. 7) “shi, shi , shik, ts’i:, ts’ik, ts’i𝖍” are stastically predomi-nant in male at 8 kHz. Conclusion: We can suggest that it is reasonable to use the onomatopoeia of each fre-quency sound of the pure tone audiometer assuming the expression sound of tinnitus.
