Tinnitus represents one of the most common and distressing otologic problems, and it causes
various somatic and psychological disorders that interfere with the quality of life. It is
well-understood that many factors, such as poor education, lower income, or occupational, and
recreational activity associated with high noise exposure, influences the prevalence and risk
of tinnitus. Although the economic and emotional impact of tinnitus is large, there is
currently no FDA-approved medication to treat this condition. However, there are
pharmacological options to address the stress, anxiety, and depression that are caused by
tinnitus. In this project, we intend to use medications for patients with tinnitus in order
to decrease the impact of tinnitus on their daily life and activities.
