The tinnitus severity and its dynamics during the treatment by glucocorticosteroids was assessed using the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI). The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was used before the treatment, on the 3rd and 7th days after the treatment.</p> <p><bold>Results. </bold>It was found that the greatest discomfort was caused by the intrusiveness of noise and inability to control it during the day, and the least discomfort was associated with sleep. The changes in the severity of noise on the THI and TFI scales on the third and seventh days after treatment were significantly different, if compared with the pre-treatment results, and had a positive trend. The therapy provided the significant decrease of noise intrusiveness and established the sense of noise control during the day, as well as minimized its effect on relaxation, hearing and quality of life, if compared to the data before treatment.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>The TFI and THI scales are recommended for assessing the severity of tinnitus and monitoring the treatment of patients exposed to high-intensity noise. Particular attention should be paid to the use of personal hearing protection equipment when working in conditions of increased level of noise.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель</bold> – оценить тяжесть шума в ушах до и после медикаментозного лечения у военнослужащих, подвергшихся воздействию шума высокой интенсивности.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.</bold> В работе обследованы 14 военнослужащих с жалобами на шум в ушах, получивших повреждение органа слуха в ходе стрельбы из огнестрельного оружия (АК74) во время выполнения учебных стрельб без средств индивидуальной защиты слуха. Оценка тяжести тиннитуса и его динамики в ходе лечения (глюкокортикостероиды) проводилась на основании функционального индекса шума (Tinnitus Functional Index – TFI) и шкалы оценки тяжести шума (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory – THI) до лечения, на третьи и седьмые сутки после лечения.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Установлено, что наибольший дискомфорт доставляет выраженность шума и невозможность контролировать его в течение суток, а наименьший связан со сном. Изменения уровня тяжести шума по шкалам THI и TFI на третьи и седьмые сутки после лечения значимо отличались по сравнению с результатами до лечения и имели положительную динамику. На фоне проведенной терапии значимо уменьшилась выраженность шума и чувство контроля его в течение суток, а также влияние его на отдых, слух и качество жизни по сравнению с данными до лечения.</p> <p><bold>Выводы.</bold> TFI и THI целесообразно рекомендовать для оценки тяжести тиннитуса и контроля лечения у пациентов, подвергающихся воздействию высокоинтенсивного шума. Особое внимание следует уделять использованию средств индивидуальной защиты органа слуха при работе в условиях повышенной шумовой нагрузки.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>acute sensorineural hearing loss</kwd><kwd>tinnitus</kwd><kwd>tinnitus functional index</kwd><kwd>tinnitus handicap inventory</kwd><kwd>high intensity noise</kwd><kwd>acoustic trauma</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>острая сенсоневральная тугоухость</kwd><kwd>шум в ушах</kwd><kwd>функциональный индекс шума</kwd><kwd>стандартизированная шкала шума</kwd><kwd>шум высокой интенсивности</kwd><kwd>акутравма</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Shornikova EV, Prokopenko LV, Kolikov KS, et al.
