I have two groups for whom I would like to compare their performance on a reaction time test. In group A, people with tinnitus, I have their audiometric data, i.e. level of hearing loss. I do not have this data for group B, individuals without tinnitus. Is there a work-around, where I can perform a statistics, in which I control for hearing loss in group A? Or do I have to collect the data for group B as well? Thanks in advance.
it depends on your question. If you compare tinnitus versus non tinnitus and use a stimuli for reaction time which is well above the auditory hearing threshold of tinnitus people. I think then that you may avoid using the data about hearing loss in tinnitus group.
I feel both group shoud undergo audiometry test and also Tinnitus handicap inventory for sevirity of Tinnitus . i would be better if your could check the ralations among tinnitus severity and reaction time.
