Increased risk of tinnitus in patients with sleep apnea: a nationwide population-based study

Introduction: Tinnitus is a common complaint in otologic clinics. The sensation of ringing, roaring, pulsatile or clicking sounds emanating from the ears without an external noise source is often described by tinnitus patients. Tinnitus is commonly a result of dysfunction of the auditory system anywhere along the pathway. It isn't a condition itself but a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing deterioration, ear disorders, or problems with a central nervous origin, such as acoustic neuroma.
