Background and Objectives We aimed to evaluate the effect of the level of education onthe prevalence of tinnitus and quality of life (QoL) in the Korean population. Subjects and Method Our study included 3155 participants from a representative sample. Tinnitus was measured using questionnaires that evaluated perception of ringing, buzzing,roaring, or hissing sounds. Participants were asked to indicate “Yes” or “No” to these questions. Participants who felt that the sensation was “A little annoying” or “Very annoying”were considered to have moderate or severe tinnitus, respectively. Hearing thresholds weremeasured using an automatic audiometer. QoL was evaluated using the EuroQoL (EQ) scale. Results The number of participants in the low, middle, and high education groups were1521, 967, and 667, respectively. Participants with any degree of tinnitus or moderate to severetinnitus increased as the level of education decreased. Multivariate logistic regression analysisshowed that the low education group had significantly higher odds ratios compared to themiddle or high education groups for moderate to severe tinnitus. Abnormal EQ 5-dimensions(EQ-5D) were higher in participants with tinnitus and a low level of education. For participants,univariate and multivariate analyses showed EQ-5D index and EQ-visual analog scalein the low education group were lower than that in the other groups. Conclusion Our study showed that low education level was associated with moderate to severetinnitus in the Korean adult population. Participants with tinnitus and a low level of educationhad poorer QoL than those with tinnitus and a high level of education.
