Tinnitus and Insomnia
Anyone with tinnitus can tell you that it’s hard to sleep with a loud noise going off inside your head. The ringing in your ears isn’t exactly conducive to falling unconscious. Many individuals feel the need to turn to fans or other masking noises in order to fall asleep.
Confirming these anecdotal reports, researchers have found a significant association between tinnitus and insomnia:
The study shows a significant association between insomnia and the severity of perceived tinnitus symptoms, with patients with insomnia reporting greater emotional distress from tinnitus.
It stands to reason that if tinnitus severity is reduced, then insomnia will be reduced as well. At AudioNotch, we’re passionate about helping people who suffer from tinnitus, and we hope that our service can aid tinnitus sufferers in sleeping better at night.
Cheers,
AudioNotch.
