RESUMO

Subjects with normal hearing between 250 and 8.000 Hz may show tinnitus. Beyond the conventional audiological evaluation, the high frequency audiometry has been applied in these cases. The research s goal was to evaluate the audibility thresholds in high frequencies in subjects with normal hearing between 250 and 8.000 Hz with and with no tinnitus complaint. The research was carried through in 33 individuals with tinnitus and 33 with no tinnitus. A significant statistical worsening occurred between hearing thresholds of subjects with tinnitus with relation to subjects with no tinnitus for the following frequencies: 9.000, 10.000, 12.500, 14.000, 16.000, 18.000 and 20.000 Hz
