Tinnitus severity linked to mood, sleep and personality traits (McGill)

[Leo]

So people who have trouble sleeping otherwise are more likely to find tinnitus annoying and bothersome.   Is that the conclusion of this study?

pretty much yes.   Among people who have tinnitus, those who have trouble sleeping are more likely to find it annoying or distressing. 

You can think this is common sense but we have a scientific method here backing up the theory.
