Associations between cochlear electrophysiology, emotional health, and sleep quality in adults with tinnitus: a comprehensive analysis

Within the constraints of this study, cochlear electrophysiologic measures showed limited observable associations with emotional or sleep characteristics. Factors related to hearing status and medication use demonstrated stronger statistical associations with sleep outcomes, while tinnitus duration was linked to quality-of-life scores. These findings contribute to the growing body of descriptive evidence on tinnitus-related characteristics, although further research with larger cohorts and longitudinal designs is needed to clarify these relationships.
