Article Synopsis
- Tinnitus may not always correlate with traditional hearing loss, suggesting that hidden hearing loss could trigger heightened sensitivity in the brain that leads to tinnitus perception.
- The study examined three potential diagnostic markers for hidden hearing loss in tinnitus patients: high-frequency audiometric thresholds, auditory brainstem response, and envelope following response, while also measuring speech intelligibility.
- Results showed age-related differences in all markers but no significant differences between tinnitus and non-tinnitus groups; however, older tinnitus patients performed better on speech in noisy environments, revealing a link to tinnitus distress and possibly hyperacusis.
