A new bimodal neuromodulation device that stimulates both the ear and tongue reduces the severity of tinnitus in patients for up to a year. Read More
A new study links high-dose opioid use to an increased risk of hearing loss and auditory problems. Researchers believe hearing problems may be a result of toxicity to the ear related to opioid exposure. Read More
Deterioration in hearing and persistent tinnitus may be another feature of COVID-19 infection, researchers report. A significant number of patients reported hearing loss and other auditory problems eight weeks after being discharged from hospital for coronavirus. Researchers say it is possible COVID-19 could damage parts of the auditory system, resulting in hearing loss. Read More
Rodent study reveals noise-induced hearing loss is associated with elevated expression of proinflammatory cytokines and microglia activation in the primary auditory cortex. Pharmacologically depleting microglia helps prevent tinnitus in mice with noise-induced hearing loss. Read More
Researchers present their findings about the acute neurosensory symptoms experienced by workers in the Havana embassy exposed to a unique sound and pressure phenomenon in 2016. Read More
A new study reveals practicing mindfulness could help provide some relief for those suffering from tinnitus. Researchers say MBCT significantly reduces the severity of tinnitus symptoms compared to relaxation based treatments. Read More
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain. Read More
According to a new study that will be presented at RSNA 2017, neurofeedback may help to reduce and, in some cases, eliminate tinnitus. Read More
It has often been claimed that exposure to loud noises in recreational activities, such as at a music concert, contributes to hidden hearing loss. New research finds no evidence to support the theory that permanent hearing difficulties occur as a result recreational noise exposure. Read More
Researchers reveal the precuneus is more connected to the dorsal attention network and less connected to the default mode network in people with chronic tinnitus. Read More
Researchers report fusiform cells in the dorsal cochlear nucleus become hyperstimulated when exposed to serotonin. Findings could have implications for those taking SSRIs as they may make tinnitus worse in some people. Read More
