Rezumat	The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is a 25-item self-report scale that quantifies the functional, emotional, and catastrophic effects of tinnitus on daily life, work, and psychosocial well-being. Developed by Newman, Jacobson, and Spitzer in 1996, it has become the gold-standard outcome measure for assessing tinnitus-related handicap in clinical practice and research. The THI enables clinicians to track disease burden, monitor therapeutic response, and identify patients at risk for severe psychological distress.	The Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) is a self-report questionnaire assessing the frequency and severity of vertigo and associated symptoms (nausea, lightheadedness, visual disturbance, head motion intolerance). Developed by Yardley et al. in 1992, the VSS measures symptom burden rather than handicap, making it distinct from disability-focused measures. The VSS is valuable for characterizing symptom clusters, monitoring symptom progression, and evaluating treatment response in vestibular and central dizziness disorders.
