A recent research indicates, poor sleep quality can aggravate the condition of
tinnitus sufferers.
Tinnitus is phenomenon where the ear or head feels like ringing, swishing or buzzing. In the research, researchers in United States involved nearly 117 tinnitus patients who were undergoing treatment at
Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit between 2009 and 2011. It turns out that the more severe their symptoms of insomnia, the greater the symptoms of tinnitus complaints and worsening emotional distress.
"
Tinnitus involves mental, emotional and physiological, which may increase patient suffering," said
Dr. Kathleen Yaremchuk, one of the researchers who led department of otolaryngology at Henry Ford Hospital. "
Complaints of sleep, including insomnia, tinnitus patients can result in decreased tolerance for their disease," he added.
