PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·6w agoSurgical treatment of pulsatile tinnitus arising from sigmoid sinus wall anomaliesSigmoid sinus wall anomalies (diverticulum and dehiscence) are a surgically correctable cause of pulsatile tinnitus; audiologists should ensure patients with pulsatile tinnitus are referred for vascular imaging workup before assuming a non-treatable etiology.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·6w agoTinnitus Burden Predicts Domain-Specific Quality of Life After Cochlear ImplantationAudiologists should routinely assess pre-implant tinnitus burden using validated tools, as it predicts domain-specific quality-of-life outcomes post-implantation and may inform counselling and rehabilitation planning.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·7w agoAssociation between chronic headache and tinnitus in an Arab community in Southwest Iran: A population-based cross-sectional studyAudiologists should consider routinely asking patients with tinnitus about chronic headache history, as this study adds population-level evidence of a co-occurrence worth flagging for referral — though the cross-sectional design limits causal inference.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·7w agoClinical Characteristics of Patients With Symptomatic Sigmoid Sinus Wall AnomaliesAudiologists and otolaryngologists evaluating pulsatile tinnitus should be aware that BMI and geographic/demographic factors may influence the likelihood and presentation of sigmoid sinus wall anomalies, but larger comparative studies are needed before changing diagnostic...＋Save
