Imaging of Pulsatile Tinnitus

Bidirectional Associations Between Tinnitus Subtypes and Psychiatric Conditions

“…Despite the lower risk of developing psychiatric conditions after diagnosis, PT patients still experienced notable psychological distress. This may be related to anxiety around identifying and managing potentially serious underlying causes, as well as the uncertainty and delays that can accompany the diagnostic process [ 18 , 34 ]. These findings suggest that even when a treatable etiology is present, mental health support remains essential in the management of PT.…”

“…Tinnitus can be broadly categorized into pulsatile tinnitus (PT) and non‐pulsatile tinnitus (NPT). PT often results from identifiable vascular or muscular changes near the ear, making it more likely to have a treatable cause [ 18 ]. In contrast, NPT typically stems from altered neural activity within the central auditory system and frequently persists without an identifiable etiology, often exacerbating psychological distress [ 19 , 20 ].…”
