Muhtasari	The Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test-15 (COMOT-15) is a 15-item patient-reported outcome measure specifically designed to assess the burden and impact of chronic otitis media on health-related quality of life. Developed by Schilder and colleagues (2016), the COMOT-15 measures symptoms (ear discharge, hearing loss, ear pain), hearing function, and psychosocial effects of chronic ear disease. It is the recommended core outcome set for clinical trials and quality improvement programs evaluating chronic otitis media treatment.	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.
