, especially when the patient has anxiety, hyperacusis, and/or insomnia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The main risk factors to develop tinnitus or hyperacusis are hearing loss, social stress and age.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: Sound generator (SG) plays a role as effective sound therapy of tinnitus retaining therapy (TRT) in patients with severe tinnitus (Category 1) or hyperacusis (Category 3).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
OBJECTIVE: Determine if somatic tinnitus patients with hyperacusis have different characteristics from those without hyperacusis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There was a statistically lower ratio of patients with hyperacusis. We found that patients with tinnitus in addition to hyperacusis had greater tinnitus severity and exhibited higher rates of various complications.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the optimal diagnostic workup modalities for vascular pulsatile tinnitus through analysis of clinical and radiologic findings.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Full workup performed by the primary care physician including blood tests for electrolyte imbalance, consultations by 2 independent otholaryngologists, and imaging did not reveal abnormalities to provide etiology of the tinnitus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The audiological and MRI measures were repeated after ALCAR treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They were then classified into 5 grades, and the records of their previous treatments were scrutinized. From these records, we designed a practical treatment protocol suitable for each of the 5 grades.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The most common form of treatment of tinnitus is pharmacological agents and behavioral treatment combined with sound therapy. Less common treatments are hypnosis and acupuncture.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The outlook for tinnitus depends on its cause. In people with tinnitus related to earwax buildup or medications, the condition usually will go away when the earwax is removed or the medication is stopped.[drugs.com]
Conclusion Pulsatile tinnitus can lead to significant morbidity, and identification of the underlying cause is important for adequate treatment and prognosis estimation.[doi.org]
Here, four clinical cases are presented to demonstrate a novel approach to tinnitus management that focuses on two fundamental etiologic bases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patients each underwent a full neurootological examination with the aim of diagnosing an etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus, heterogeneity has complicated efforts to explore the etiology of tinnitus using structural MRI. CONCLUSION: There is a pressing need to standardize the use of VBM when evaluating tinnitus patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract When tinnitus is pulse-synchronous, a vascular etiology is suggested.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Initial evaluation of tinnitus should include a thorough history, head and neck examination, and audiometric testing to identify an underlying etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Regarding tinnitus as a single disease is hampering progress in understanding of the pathophysiology of tinnitus and perhaps, more importantly, it is a serious obstacle in development of effective treatments for tinnitus.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
