Tinnitus Is Somehow Linked to a Crucial Bodily Function - newsmaster - November 7, 2025
- Neuroscientists at the University of Oxford suggest a close connection between tinnitus and sleep in the brain.
- Both tinnitus and sleep rely on spontaneous brain activity, which may explain their interaction.
- In 2022, Milinski and colleagues published a review proposing that large spontaneous brain waves during deep non-REM sleep could suppress tinnitus-related brain activity.
- Recent research in humans supports this, showing that tinnitus-related hyperactivity is suppressed during deep sleep.
- Tinnitus can worsen sleep, and poor sleep can exacerbate tinnitus, creating a potential vicious cycle.
- Stress worsens tinnitus and is linked to sleep disruption.
- Sleep is now considered a critical therapeutic target for managing tinnitus.
- Ongoing research aims to understand how sleep affects the development and severity of tinnitus and could inform new treatments.
- Understanding the tinnitus-sleep link may also provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms of sleep itself.
