It might be caused by a disorder in the auditory system and the brain. The degree of invasiveness of the tinnitus and its effects on patients’ quality of life is very difficult to measure. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory of English language (THI-E) is considered as the easy standardized method to quantify the degree of disability caused by tinnitus. This study was conducted to establish and validate a THI in Jordanian Arabic language like the THI-E. The THI-E questioners were translated into formal Jordanian Arabic language by four bilingual volunteers. Then final version was applied on forty-two patients at the tinnitus soft laser therapy clinic. The results illustrate an excellent internal reliability. There is a significant correlation between Beak Depression Inventory, the State Anxiety Inventory and the developed Jordanian Arabic Tinnitus Inventory of this study.
