“…Of those patients with imaging data, they underwent imaging for reasons other than their tinnitus, and the majority (69.4%) of these children also had normal results. Levi et al 26 found that 4 out of 9 children with tinnitus who had abnormal audiograms also had abnormal MRI results; 3 of those 4 were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. These findings suggest that MRI may have a role in the workup of children with abnormal hearing and tinnitus.…”

Retrospective chart review of 248 children (1-19 years old) with tinnitus who presented to a tertiary pediatric hospital between 2006 and 2011, looking at which cofactors are predictors of pediatric tinnitus. In our review, we extracted demographics, symptoms, historical data, imaging, and laboratory results; we compared with the general population. Eighty-seven percent had normal hearing. Age distribution, noise exposure, and frequency of psychiatric diagnoses in our cohort were consistent with previous reports. We found a lower incidence of otitis media and the same prevalence of dizziness, asthma, and hearing loss as the general population, a lower prevalence of Eustachian tube dysfunction, otitis media, headaches, and higher incidence of rhinosinusitis. Lack of patient reporting and objective testing complicate the ability to detect pediatric tinnitus. We revealed a gap in the literature regarding rhinosinusitis as a cofactor, imaging during diagnosis, and if psychiatric diagnoses are associated with tinnitus in younger children.

“…However, pediatric tinnitus needs to be reviewed in a similarly rigorous manner when there is sufficient research or publications in the areas examined by the guideline. As such, Levi et al made a recommendation in imaging children with tinnitus that deserves comment. In their series of nine children, four children with concomitant tinnitus and SNHL underwent MRI; all were abnormal, and three were found to have multiple sclerosis .…”

The authors went on to conclude that MRI is mandatory for those with abnormal audiograms.…”

“…Newer sequences, such as diffusion weighted, as well as further development of high-energy MRI, have allowed for higher resolution and further characterization of lesions (3,6,(8)(9)(10). MRI studies have been a valuable tool for follow-up of cholesteatoma in children, but there is currently growing evidence for a role of this imaging modality in evaluating other otologic complaints in the pediatric population, particularly for diagnostic value of intracranial pathology (11)(12)(13)(14).…”
