Article Abstract
Objectives: Growing evidence suggests a potential link between tinnitus and sleep-related disturbances. This study aimed to explore this association in a large-scale population-based data.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: The 6,951 subjects with data on demographics, sleep patterns, sleep-related symptoms, and otologic assessments were selected from the eighth and ninth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2019, 2020, and 2022), a database representing the general population.
Main Outcomes Measures: Subjects were classified into tinnitus and nontinnitus groups, with the tinnitus group subdivided by chronicity (acute/chronic) and severity (mild/severe), and their association with sleep issues was analyzed.
Results: The chronic tinnitus group had shorter sleep durations (weekdays, p < 0.001; weekends, p < 0.001) and higher proportions of sleep deprivation (weekdays, p = 0.001; weekends, p < 0.001), fatigue ( p < 0.001), and witnessed obstructive sleep apnea ( p = 0.026) compared to the nontinnitus group. They also exhibited shorter sleep duration ( p = 0.027) and more sleep deprivation ( p = 0.025) on weekends than the acute tinnitus group. The severe tinnitus group showed shorter sleep durations (weekdays, p = 0.004; weekends, p = 0.002), more sleep deprivation (weekdays, p = 0.025; weekends, p = 0.001), and higher levels of fatigue ( p = 0.001) compared to the nontinnitus group, as well as more fatigue than the mild tinnitus group ( p = 0.036).
Conclusion: The chronicity and severity of tinnitus were significantly associated with sleep problems. Chronic and severe tinnitus are strongly associated with sleep disturbances, emphasizing the need for targeted management.

Venous sinus stenting versus ventriculoperitoneal shunting: Comparing perioperative costs for idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
Interv Neuroradiol

Department of Neurosurgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
IntroductionVenous sinus stenting (VSS) is an effective, less invasive alternative to ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS) for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). While efficacy is comparable, with some evidence favoring VSS for headache control, perioperative costs remain under-characterized due to reliance on reimbursement rates rather than actual expenditures.ObjectiveTo compare the perioperative cost of elective VSS and VPS for IIH, including outpatient workup and follow-up costs, using detailed institutional cost data.

Individuals with tinnitus hear sounds that are not present in the external environment. Whereas hearing difficulties at frequencies near those matching the tinnitus pitch are a common complaint for individuals with tinnitus, it is unclear to what extent the internal tinnitus sounds interfere with the detection of external sounds. We therefore studied whether pure-tone detection at the estimated frequency corresponding to the tinnitus pitch (f) was affected by confusion with the tinnitus percept.

Background And Objectives: Microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS) is commonly conducted under a microscope. We report a large series of fully endoscopic MVDs for HFS and describe our initial experience with 3-dimensional (3D) endoscopy.
Methods: Clinical data of 204 patients with HFS who underwent fully endoscopic MVD using 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy (191 and 13 patients, respectively) from July 2017 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
Relationship between anxiety and tinnitus development in a rat model.

Tinnitus, the auditory perception of sound without an external environmental stimulus, affects 15% of the human population and is associated with hearing loss. Interestingly, anxiety may be a significant risk factor in tinnitus pathophysiology potentially due to underlying common neural circuits of the auditory and limbic systems. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of stress-induced anxiety on tinnitus development in a rat model.

Background: Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic across numerous cancer types that can cause neurotoxicities in patients, including peripheral sensory neuropathy, tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate, for the first time, how genetic ancestry impacts cisplatin-induced neurotoxicities and if disparities are related to population differences in allele frequency.
Methods: In a cohort of cisplatin-treated testicular cancer survivors, relationships between genetic ancestry and neurotoxicities, medications, and lifestyle factors were assessed using logistic regression and Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple pairwise comparisons using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment).
