Effects of Composite Air Pollution and Genetic Susceptibility on Tinnitus Risk: A Large Population-Based Study
< .001). Individual pollutants showed weaker associations.ConclusionA joint association of air pollution exposure and genetic susceptibility with tinnitus prevalence was observed in this cross-sectional analysis, highlighting the importance of integrated environmental and genetic assessments in auditory health.RelevanceOur findings emphasize the potential value of integrating environmental and genetic factors for risk stratification of tinnitus in populations.
