Inflammation can have a profound impact on multiple systems. Certainly in recent years, autoimmune conditions are on the rise and the impact on audiovestibular symptoms have been documented. Given the rates in the population, the impact of inflammation on the auditory pathway triggering tinnitus perception is something to consider. Tinnitus can be seen as multi-factorial in many cases and in this cross-sectional study the factors of anxiety, depression, hearing loss and pre-existing inflammatory conditions are screened for. Blood-based markers of inflammation were found to be significant in the cohort of 50 patients with tinnitus, compared to the 50 control patients. Question: in tinnitus with inflammatory markers, is this just a presenting symptom of a more systemic involvement?
Tinnitus without hearing loss – inflammation?
