“…Additionally, research has demonstrated that a higher prevalence of sleep disorders in individuals with fibromyalgia or migraine (45). Furthermore, hyperstimulation of dorsal horns of the cervical spine and trigeminal nucleus has been linked to the development of chronic fibromyalgia (46,47). Symptoms such as aural fullness and otalgia may be related to trigeminal nerve activation and cortical oversensitivity.…”

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and complete auditory function in primary tinnitus patients with and without migraine or vestibular migraine. Design Retrospective case-control study. Setting A tertiary referral center. Participants This study enrolled 298 patients from the Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. All patients were diagnosed with primary tinnitus by a neurotologist between April 2020 and August 2021. Patients were excluded if they had histories of chronic otitis media, idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, Ménière's disease, skull base neoplasm, or temporal bone trauma. Interventions Twenty-five-item Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), speech audiometry including speech recognition threshold, most comfortable level, uncomfortable loudness levels, dynamic range, and pure-tone audiometry. Main Outcomes Measures Objective hearing loss is defined as a mean threshold greater than 25 dB. Extremely elevated THI is defined as a score greater than 1 standard deviation above the mean THI. Results Among the 298 patients with tinnitus, 149 were women and 149 were men, with a mean age of 57.06 (range, 19.22–94.58) years. A total of 125 patients completed the THI questionnaire during their initial visit. The median THI score was 32 (95% confidence interval: 13.98–56.00), and the mean score was 34.99 with a standard deviation of 21.01. The sole contributing factor significantly associated with higher total THI score was the diagnosis of migraine or vestibular migraine (p < 0.001, odds ratio = 19.41). Tinnitus patients with migraine or vestibular migraine exhibited significantly lower mean pure-tone auditory thresholds (right 22.2 versus 29.5, p = 0.002; left 22.5 versus 30.4, p < 0.001), speech recognition threshold (right 20.0 versus 25.2, p = 0.016; left 20.2 versus 25.5, p = 0.019), and most comfortable levels values (right 46.1 versus 51.4, p = 0.007; left 46.9 versus 51.4, p = 0.021) compared with the tinnitus patients without migraine. Conclusions In this population-based study, patients with primary tinnitus experienced significantly higher THI scores and exhibited concurrent symptoms, including dizziness/vertigo, cervicalgia, and migraine or vestibular migraine. Among these parameters, the diagnosis of migraine or vestibular migraine was the sole contributor to significant higher THI score.

Tinnitus, the perception of sound without an external source, affects 15% of the population, with 2.4% experiencing significant distress. In this review, we summarize the current state of knowledge about tinnitus management with a particular focus on the translation into clinical practice. In the first section, we analyze shortcomings, knowledge gaps, and challenges in the field of tinnitus research. Then, we highlight the relevance of the diagnostic process to account for tinnitus heterogeneity and to identify all relevant aspects of the tinnitus in an individual patient, such as etiological aspects, pathophysiological mechanisms, factors that contribute most to suffering, and comorbidities. In the next section, we review available treatment options, including counselling, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), hearing aids and cochlear implants for patients with a relevant hearing loss, sound generators, novel auditory stimulation approaches, tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), pharmacological treatment, neurofeedback, brain stimulation, bimodal stimulation, Internet- and app-based digital approaches, and alternative treatment approaches. The evidence for the effectiveness of the various treatment interventions varies considerably. We also discuss differences in current respective guideline recommendations and close with a discussion of how current pathophysiological knowledge, latest scientific evidence, and patient perspectives can be translated in patient-centered care.

Beyond Vertigo: Vestibular, Aural, and Perceptual Symptoms in Vestibular Migraine

Purpose To review the vestibular, aural, and perceptual symptoms of vestibular migraine (VM) that may present alongside vertigo. Recent Findings Increased research attention to the wide spectrum of symptoms presenting in VM patients has improved understanding of this disorder, with recent identification of five different VM phenotypes. Research into the clinical overlap between VM and other chronic vestibular syndromes such as persistent postural-perceptual dizziness and mal-de-debarquement syndrome reveals a range of vestibular symptoms and hints at pathophysiological connections between migraine and vestibular dysfunction. Studies of migraine treatment for hearing loss suggest patients presenting with aural symptoms may have an underlying diagnosis of migraine and deserve a trial of migraine preventives. Research into the neurologic basis of the perceptual disorder Alice in Wonderland syndrome has revealed brain areas that are likely involved and may help explain its prevalence in VM patients. Summary VM is a sensory processing disorder that presents with more than just vertigo. Understanding the range of potential symptoms improves diagnosis and treatment for migraine patients whose diagnosis may be missed when only the symptoms identified in the diagnostic criteria are considered.
