Association between polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnfα) in the region -308 g/a with tinnitus in the elderly with a history of occupational noise exposure.

Context: Tinnitus is a common disorder that occurs frequently across all strata of population and has an important health concern and is often associated with different forms of the hearing loss of varying severity.

Aims: To investigate the association between the polymorphism of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) in the region -308 G/A with the susceptibility to tinnitus in individuals with the history of exposure to occupational noise.

Settings And Design: This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 179 independent elderly people above 60 years of age.

Association between polymorphism of interleukin-6 in the region -174G/C and tinnitus in the elderly with a history of occupational noise exposure.

Unlabelled: Tinnitus is a symptom usually related to cochlear change that may arise from noise exposure and induces expression of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-6 (IL6). This study aimed to evaluate the association between the polymorphism of the IL6 gene in the region 174G/C and tinnitus in elderly with history of occupational noise exposure.

Settings And Design: This was a cross-sectional study with a sample of 179 independent elderly individuals aged >60 years.
