The fact that so little is currently known about the pathophysiology of tinnitus is no doubt partly due to the relatively slow development of an animal model. Not until the work of Jastreboff et al. (1988a, b) did tinnitus researchers have at their disposal a method of determining whether their animals experienced tinnitus. Since then, a variety of additional animal models have been developed. Each of these models will be summarized in this chapter. It is becoming increasingly clear that in order to study tinnitus effectively, researchers need some verification that a drug, noise exposure or other manipulation is causing tinnitus in their animals. As this review will highlight, researchers now have a variety of behavioral options available to them.

Impacts of hazardous noise levels on hearing loss and tinnitus in dental professionals.
J Occup Med Toxicol
January 2025
School of Health Sciences, Department of Audiology, University of the Pacific, San Francisco, California, USA.
Background: Hazardous noise exposure is an important health concern in many workplaces and is one of the most common work-related injuries in the United States. Dental professionals are frequently exposed to high levels of occupational noise in their daily work environment. This noise is generated by various dental handpieces such as drills, suctions, and ultrasonic scalers.

Neurology, Boston Medical Center, Boston University Chobanian and Aveidisian School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Background: Transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) and sigmoid sinus wall anomalies (SSWAs) are the most common causes of pulsatile tinnitus (PT). While these conditions may co-occur, they usually require different management approaches. This study aims to evaluate whether TSS stenting alone, without targeted treatment of SSWAs, is sufficient to resolve PT in patients presenting with PT, TSS, and SSWAs.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) is a distinct subset of chronic rhinosinusitis characterized by a type I hypersensitivity to fungi. Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk for fungal infections. This case highlights the complexities of managing AFRS in patients not eligible for surgery.

Int J Audiol
January 2025
Environmental Health Science and Research Bureau, Health Canada, Ottawa, Canada.
Objective: To examine the association between individual, cumulative leisure noise exposure (CLNE), acceptable yearly exposure (AYE) and tinnitus among a nationally representative sample of Canadians.
Design: In-person household questionnaires were used to evaluate leisure noise exposure across age, sex, household income and tinnitus: ever experienced, previous year, frequent, bothersome. High (≥85 dBA, LEX), low (<85 dBA, LEX) CLNE and AYEs were defined according to occupational limits.
Predictors of Tinnitus Symptom Relief With Hearing Aids in a European Multicenter Study.
Ear Hear
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
Objectives: Hearing aids (HAs) are a widely accepted first-line treatment option for individuals suffering from both hearing loss and chronic tinnitus. Though HAs are highly effective at improving speech understanding, their effectiveness in ameliorating tinnitus symptoms is less clear. In recent years, several investigators have reported on attempts to predict HAs effectiveness on tinnitus symptoms using an array of variables.
