The relationship of group characteristics with reported tinnitus given as odds ratios with 95% confidence interval. Level of significance set to 0.05. Model 1: unadjusted. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, education. Model 3: adjusted for age, sex, education, bilateral PTA4, and reported noise exposure. HbA1c=glycated hemoglobin, LDL=low density lipoprotein, HDL=high density lipoprotein.
