Abstract
Purpose: to verify whether there is a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, participating in the Pró-Mestre project.
Methods: a cross-sectional study with a sample of 90 teachers, mean age of 47.70 years, who responded to the Craniocervical Dysfunction Index (CDI), to verify the craniocervical posture, the analog visual scale (AVS), and the Portuguese adaptation of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), to investigate tinnitus and its impact on the quality of life. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, by adopting a significance level lower than 0.05.
Results: out of the 90 teachers, 18 (20%) had tinnitus. There was a statistically significant difference between the sensation of tinnitus, according to the AVS and the craniocervical posture (CDI) in teachers (p <0.001). There was also an association between tinnitus complaint and right-rotation range of motion, with age and right lateral tilt being independent factors, regarding teachers’ tinnitus sensation. In the correlation of the THI (total and domains), there was an association with cervical mobility, only in the left inclination.
Conclusion: since a statistically significant difference was found between the subjective sensation of tinnitus and the craniocervical posture with a correlation between tinnitus sensation and repercussion on the quality of life and craniocervical posture in teachers, these aspects should be considered in the assessment of teachers presented with tinnitus, as well as further studies with a population of teachers, healthy adults, in order to increase the knowledge on the subject.

Resumo
Objetivo: verificar se existe correlação entre a sensação e repercussão do zumbido na qualidade de vida e postura craniocervical em professores.
Métodos: estudo transversal com uma amostra de 90 professores participantes do projeto Pró-Mestre, com média de idade de 47,70 anos, que responderam ao Índice de disfunção Crânio cervical e a escala visual- -analógica (EVA) e a adaptação para a língua portuguesa do Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) para verificar o zumbido e sua repercussão na qualidade de vida. Foram aplicados os testes estatísticos pertinentes, adotando o nivel de significancia menor que 0,05.
Resultados: dos 90 professores 18 (20%) apresentavam zumbido. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre a sensação do zumbido pela escala EVA e a postura craniocervical em professores (p <0,001). Também foi encontrada associação entre a queixa de zumbido e a amplitude de movimento com rotação para a direita, sendo que a idade e a inclinação lateral para a direita são fatores independentes no que se refere a sensação de zumbido em professores. Na correlação do THI (total e domínios) apenas a inclinação à esquerda apresentou associação com a mobilidade cervical.
Conclusão: os resultados da pesquisa demonstraram correlação entre a sensação e repercussão do zumbido na qualidade de vida e postura craniocervical em professores, apontando que estes aspectos devem ser considerados na avaliação de professores com zumbido, além de que, são necessários mais estudos com população de professores, adultos saudáveis, com intuito de ampliar o conhecimento sobre o assunto.
