“…In this regard, one study found that PP, such as personality traits, dysfunctional coping strategies, anxiety, and depression, may trigger biological problems, such as tinnitus (Andersson et al, 2009; Aytac et al, 2017; Lin, Chen, Chou, & Chung, 2018; McCormack et al, 2015). Meanwhile, psychological, genetic, and other physiological factors are commonly found to contribute to the development of tinnitus (Langguth, Landgrebe, Kleinjung, Sand, & Hajak, 2011; Yıldız, Şahin, Batmaz, Songur, & Kutlutürk, 2017). A study that examined this reciprocal relationship found that depression symptoms and traumatic experiences might lead to tinnitus; however, this topic remains controversial in many different cultures and countries (Hinton, Chhean, Pich, Hofmann, & Barlow, 2006; Neigh, Gillespie, & Nemeroff, 2009).…”
