Article Synopsis
- There is evidence suggesting that the HPA axis may not function properly in people with chronic tinnitus, but previous studies have shown mixed results, possibly due to varied clinical factors.
- This study compares salivary cortisol levels in tinnitus sufferers and healthy controls to investigate the effects of childhood trauma and anxiety on HPA-axis functioning.
- The results indicate that individuals with tinnitus who experienced childhood trauma have lower cortisol awakening responses, suggesting trauma impacts HPA function, while anxiety did not significantly affect any outcomes.
