AI Article Synopsis
- Tinnitus affects about 14.4% of adults, and its severity can be influenced by psychological factors like depression, necessitating a better understanding of their relationship.
- The study will analyze the content of various questionnaires that assess tinnitus and depression, linking them to the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) framework to identify overlaps.
- By clarifying the shared and distinct aspects of these symptoms, the research aims to enhance understanding of how tinnitus and depression interact and impact individuals' experiences.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Tinnitus is a common phenomenon with an estimated prevalence of 14.4% in the adult population. The experienced severity of tinnitus varies significantly among this population. Psychological factors have been identified as major contributors to this perceived severity, and numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between symptoms of depression and tinnitus severity. However, the assessment of tinnitus severity and depressive symptoms often relies on self-report questionnaires, which show content overlap. This can pose challenges in distinguishing both conditions and interpreting their relationship. To address these challenges, the proposed study aims to examine the overlap between tinnitus and depressive symptom questionnaires by analyzing their content based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
Methods And Analysis: Six validated, multi-item, self-report questionnaires measuring perceived tinnitus severity (THI, TQ, mTQ, THQ, TRQ, TFI) and seven validated, multi-item, self-report, depressive symptom questionnaires (BDI-II, HADS-D, SDS, PHQ-9, CES-D, SCL-90-R depression subscale, DASS-42 depression subscale) will be included in the content analysis. The content of all items of these questionnaires will be linked to ICF categories and item overlap between the tinnitus and depressive symptom questionnaires will be analyzed.
Discussion: By exploring the overlap between depression and tinnitus questionnaires, this study seeks to gain a better understanding of the relationship between tinnitus and depression, by distinguishing between shared content and independent constructs of symptom scores and shedding light on the factors influencing their measured severity.
Ethics And Dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this study, due to the characteristics of the study design. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed open access publication and scientific conferences.

Subjective tinnitus is a phantom auditory perception in the absence of an actual acoustic stimulus that affects 15% of the global population. In humans, tinnitus is often associated with disturbed sleep and, interestingly, there is an overlap between the brain areas involved in tinnitus and regulation of NREM sleep. We used eight adult ferrets exposed to mild noise trauma as an animal model of tinnitus.

We describe a case of a 24 year old female who came with complaint of bilateral tinnitus, profound hearing loss, and weakness in both lower limbs which on imaging work up showed unilateral acoustic schwannoma, and spinal extramedullary intradural lesions at D8-D9 level giving the classical features of neurofibromatosis II along with cafe au lait spots, axillary freckling, cutaneous neurofibromas, which are unique to NF1. The purpose of this report is to discuss the study of a patient with classical features of both NF-I and NF-II, emphasizing the need for surveillance regarding sporadic mutations seen in NF I AND NF II genes, as well as genetic mosaicism to be kept in mind when diagnosing such patients.

Article Synopsis
- Migraines (MI) are a common brain problem affecting about 20% of people worldwide, and some people with migraines also have balance issues, which is called vestibular migraine (VM).
- Meniere's disease (MD) is another condition that affects the inner ear and can cause spinning sensations, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss, which sometimes overlaps with vestibular migraine symptoms.
- A study compared blood samples from people with migraines, vestibular migraines, Meniere's disease, and healthy individuals, finding that migraines and vestibular migraines have similar immune responses, while Meniere's disease shows different immune reactions and can be divided into two types based on activity.
