Results of the stepwise regression analysis.

Variables with significant impact on tinnitus-related distress and subjectively perceived tinnitus loudness were determined in a stepwise regression analysis comparing mild versus severe distress and low versus high loudness, respectively. Concordance of the model was 89.7 for tinnitus-related distress and 81.3 for subjective tinnitus loudness. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) are shown.*p**p***p****pMTQ – short version of the tinnitus questionnaire, T-NRS – numeric rating scale for subjectively perceived tinnitus loudness.
