“…In addition, Aβ-42 was associated with years of service, ear ringing or tinnitus, and memory problems in participants with LLOP exposure history. Tinnitus is well documented among personnel with LLOP exposure, 34,35 and elevated Aβ peptide levels were found in multiple studies including cohorts of trainees exposed to LLOP from rifle fire or breaching without definitive TBI diagnosis [36][37][38] as well as service members who showed mild TBI symptoms in clinical settings. 39,40 Mechanisms associated with an increase in blood Aβ peptide levels among personnel with longterm LLOP exposure are not fully known, particularly among study participants who were capable of performing duties.…”

“…The sudden occurrence of tinnitus may be linked to different conditions like sudden sensorineural hearing loss, 19 ototoxicity, 20 Meniere’s disease, 21 as well as acoustic trauma. 22 Similarly, gradual tinnitus may be linked to noise exposure for longer duration. 23 Along with that, the ringing type of tinnitus was most common in the participants.…”

Introduction The prevalence of tinnitus is increasing in younger adult rapidly. It is increasing mainly because of increased daily noise levels due to the unrestrained usage of recreational devices like mobile phones, MP3s, iPods, and other personal stereos. The aim of this study is to describe awareness and experience of tinnitus among younger adult with respect to the existence, cause, effects, and management. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 205 young adult Nepalese population between the age ranges between 20 and 40 years through online survey mode. Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 25.0 software. Data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics. Results Result showed more than half of the participants (59.2%) were aware about the existence of tinnitus; however, only 16.1% of participants were aware about the effect of tinnitus. The incidence of tinnitus was found to be high (11.71%) in Nepalese population. Conclusion Even though most of the participants were found to be aware about existence of tinnitus, most of them were not aware about the effect of tinnitus and its cause. This result has implications for audiologist who are involved in hearing health care program across the various age groups. As per this study, since most of the participants pointed to the Internet as their source of awareness, that could be further tapped on to provide awareness in these age groups.

“…Due to Brian's experiences, he was motivated to share his story and educate other patients and veterans who may suffer from noise-induced auditory impacts and are unaware there may be help for their symptoms. Unfortunately, Brian's case is also typical, in that military service members and veterans are exposed to excessive noise (e.g., firearms, aircraft engines, mortars) and tend to have auditory complaints at higher rates than the general population (Theodoroff & Konrad-Martin, 2020). Furthermore, it is important to recognize the co-occurring mental conditions that may exacerbate these auditory symptoms in combat Veterans, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and blast exposure (Theodoroff et al, 2015).…”

Purpose The engagement of patients as key stakeholders in their experience of care processes is a critical component of quality improvement efforts for both clinical care and translational research. Increasingly, health care systems are soliciting input from patients on care processes and experiences through surveys, patient interviews, and patient video narratives. The purpose of this viewpoint article is twofold: (a) to describe the increasing role of patient narratives about their experiences with adverse health conditions to inform patient-centered research and quality improvement efforts and (b) to present three patient narratives that highlight the real-world impacts of hearing loss and tinnitus, the life enhancing impacts of aural rehabilitation, and the importance of prospective ototoxicity monitoring in individuals with complex health conditions. Conclusion Patient narratives provide individual patient perspectives that can be used to build awareness of the range of experiences and impact of hearing disorders, and to explore patient preferences for when and how to implement hearing-related clinical services.
