“…Thus, the authors report that tinnitus may precede depression. Along with that, the rate of tinnitus described as uncomfortable among subjects was For the evaluation of tinnitus, depression and anxiety, the most frequently mentioned instruments were, respectively: the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) 19,20,23,24,26 ; the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) 18,19,26 ; the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9) 21,25,28 ; and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) 21,25 .…”

“…Of the 11 selected studies, 4 included elderly in their sample but not only them [18][19][20][21] . Some of these studies were carried out with Brazilian samples, which may be why the papers presented the variables only in the general group; 5 articles reported their data comparing adults and the elderly [22][23][24][25][26] ; and finally, only 2 studies 27,28 evaluated the relationship between variables only in the elderly population.…”

Tinnitus and its relationship with anxiety and depression in the elderly: a systematic review

Objective: to verify, in the literature, a probable association of tinnitus with anxiety and depression in the elderly. Methods: a systematic review (through a search in the indexed databases - Lilacs, Scielo, Pubmed, Science Direct, The Cochrane Library) of studies published between 2013 and 2018, in Portuguese and in English, involving adults and/or elderly (18 years and older). The descriptors used were: “tinnitus", "depression", "anxiety", "adult", "elderly", interspersed by the Boolean operator AND. Results: 11 studies were selected, from which, 5 compared adults to elderly and only 2 evaluated such relationship in the elderly alone. Studies suggest that, as age increases, tinnitus severity and psychological symptoms also increase, affecting both men and women. Conclusion: few studies compared the relationship between the variables among the elderly. A probable association between the variables for both genders has been found, suggesting that the advancing age contributes to the increase of tinnitus severity and its psychological symptoms, affecting the quality of life of these individuals. Further studies are suggested to confirm the association between tinnitus, anxiety and depression in the elderly. Multi-professional work is important for the evaluation and treatment of these people.

“…Previous studies found no age-related differences in depression or subjective tinnitus severity accompanying hearing loss [17] . Our tinnitogram analysis found no differences in pitch, but the older group showed higher average loudness.…”

“…Although previous research compared the psychological aspects of tinnitus in younger and older subjects [17] , to our knowledge, no comparative studies performed to date have evaluated audiological configuration based on PTA data. Moreover, none had analyzed the details of noise-induced hearing loss, tinnitus pitch, and auditory tests such as ABR, TEOAE, and DPOAE and their correlation with occupational history.…”

, who visited the outpatient clinic with the complaint of tinnitus and who completed a physical examination, medical history survey, questionnaire survey for measuring subjective discomfort due to tinnitus, and underwent full-scale audiometry. Patients with ear infection (e.g., otitis media, myringitis, mastoiditis), previous ear surgery, a history of trauma, uncertain history, or vague manifestations of tinnitus were excluded from the study. Acute tinnitus was defined as symptom duration less than 3 months and chronic tinnitus as symptom duration longer than 3 months. Patients with subacute tinnitus patients who experienced tinnitus from 3 weeks to 3 months were considered to have Clinical and Audiologic Characteristics of Tinnitus in Subjects Aged <65 and ≥65 Years OBJECTIVE: This study compared the characteristics of tinnitus, by audiologic tests and questionnaires, in older and younger subjects. MATERIALS and METHODS:Medical records of 258 outpatients with tinnitus were retrospectively reviewed. Characteristics compared in subjects aged <65 and ≥65 years included patient history and the results of physical examinations, questionnaires, and audiologic tests. RESULTS:Fifty-nine patients were aged 65 years and older (older group), and 199 were less than 65 years old (younger group). The prevalence of chronic tinnitus was significantly higher in the older group (p<0.05). Assessments of audiologic configuration showed that the rate of high frequency steeply sloping configuration was significantly higher (p<0.05). The rate of sensorineural hearing loss was significantly higher in the older group (p<0.05). On tinnitograms, loudness was significantly higher in the older group (p<0.05). Auditory brainstem responses analysis showed that V latency was longer in the older group (p<0.05). The older group showed lower responses at every frequency on distortion product otoacoustic emissions (p<0.05) and lower signal-to-noise ratio at every frequency on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (p<0.05). CONCLUSION:The clinical manifestations of tinnitus and audiological results differ between older and younger subjects with tinnitus.
