The Tinnitus Acceptance Questionnaire is a 12-item self-report tool that assesses acceptance of tinnitus and engagement in daily activities despite tinnitus. Items are rated on a seven-point Likert scale (0–6), eight items are reverse scored and the total score ranges from 0 to 72, where a higher score indicates a greater level of acceptance. The Turkish version yielded a three-factor structure.
