“…The prevelance of sleep disturbance among tinnitus patients have been reported to be between 25%-60% and found to be one of the three major complaints (Jakes et al, 1985;Axelsson and Ringdahl, 1989;Sanchez and Stephens, 2000). Furthermore, many tinnitus patients are known to suffer from insomnia (Crönlein et al, 2007), which has a considerable impact on the quality of life (Meikle et al, 1984).…”

“…The extent to which tinnitus impairs quality of life is highly variable. Most of the studies declared that tinnitus strongly effects psychological and social profile of the patients and decreases their quality of life (Meikle et al, 1984;Bauch et al, 2003;Crönlein et al, 2007). Some people are severely impaired and may even become suicidal, whereas some remain unaffected by the phantom sounds (Turner et al, 2007).…”

Article HistoryReceived 20 / 02 / 2014 Accepted 05 / 05 / 2014The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of sexual life of males with and without tinnitus. Fourty patients with a complaint of tinnitus and 40 control subjects with no evidence of ear pathology were included. International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF) was used to evaluate the quality of sexual life of the subjects. The mean scores of erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction for tinnitus group were significantly lower than that for control group (p=0.0001). There was no correlation between tinnitus duration and IIEF scores (p≤0.05). There was no correlation between tinnitus severity and IIEF scores (p≤0.05). Tinnitus is not only an otologic problem but also has negative effects on quality of life. The clinician must consider these concomitting social, sexual and sleep disturbances and help the patient to cope with these problems.

“…Some circumstances (stress, acute infection, anaemia) can lead to increase of duration and intensity of tinnitus. Concomitant sleep disorders, anxiety, despair, frustration and depression as well as aggressiveness are related to higher frequency of psychosomatic disorders (Crönlein et al, 2007). Tinnitus then becomes a complex health problem and symptom becomes syndrome .…”

Pathophysiology and Treatment of Tinnitus: An Elusive Disease

Tinnitus is a perception of sound in proximity to the head with the absence of an external source. It is estimated to occur in 15-20% of the world's population, with 1-3% of cases severely affecting quality of life. Severe tinnitus is frequently associated with depression, anxiety and insomnia. Tinnitus has been associated with a variety of risk factors, including prolonged noise exposure, head and neck injury and infection. The most recent pathophysiologic theory of tinnitus suggests that the central nervous system is the source or ''generator'' of this condition. However, treatment modalities are still aimed at lessening the awareness of tinnitus and its impact on quality of life rather than attaining a definitive cure. Currently, no drug is available that has demonstrated replicable, long-term reduction of tinnitus impact in excess of placebo effects. However, the market value of such an agent is estimated to be $1.1 billion, with a potential for increase with an aging and longer-living population. This review assesses the current developments in the pathophysiology and treatment for tinnitus, which remains a chronic and debilitating condition.
