This study is a quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional design. The research sample amounted to 100 respondents who were included in the inclusion criteria. Data was collected through an earphone usage pattern questionnaire as well as a Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) questionnaire to assess the level of tinnitus complaints. Data analysis was carried out in a univariate descriptive manner using frequency and percentage distributions. The majority of respondents use earphones regularly with varying durations and frequency of use. An assessment using the THI questionnaire showed that as many as 21% of respondents experienced tinnitus complaints, with the highest severity in the mild category.
