heal.abstract	Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no actual external noise is present. Tinnitus is highly prevalent, with more than 1 in 7 adults in the EU having tinnitus, and it causes negative effects on quality of life for many individuals. However, there is currently no cure for tinnitus and its pathophysiology and genesis are unknown. Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) provide a non-invasive means by which the electrical signals evoked by the brain can be recorded, and constitute a useful indicator for the evaluation of auditory disorders such as tinnitus and hearing loss. The present study analyzed a total of 98 auditory middle evoked potential (AMLR) waveforms, a subtype of AEPs, from 49 participants with subjective tinnitus, attempting to identify differences in AMLR parameters between sufferers with and without tinnitus distress. The waveforms were divided into three categories according to the ear's hearing level, and comparisons were made between sufferers in the same hearing level category. The results of the analysis indicated some statistically significant differences in AMLR latencies and amplitudes between the compared groups. Clinical Relevance– Identification of the electro-physiological profile of subjective tinnitus sufferers based on the distress manifested by tinnitus using AMLRs.	en
