Abstract
Introduction: This study was planned to investigate serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels of individuals who applied to Ear, Nose and Throat clinic with tinnitus complaint which is defined as a conscious awareness of an intracranial noise.
Methods: The study was performed in groups of 50 individuals (50 individuals with at least 6 months of tinnitus) with tinnitus complaint in unilateral or bilateral ears and 50 individuals (mean age of 50.67±14.63) without tinnitus. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D were measured by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.
Results: 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were found to be significantly lower in both single and bilateral tinnitus groups than control group (p<0.001).
Discussion and Conclusion: It was concluded that the reasons for the lower levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in individuals with tinnitus were worth to be investigated in more detail in new studies.

Keywords: Intracranial noise; Tinnitus; 25-Hydroxyvitamin D
