#Tinnitus

A recent research review has uncovered a striking connection between tinnitus, a persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears with no external cause, and one of the body’s most important restorative processes: deep sleep. With around 15% of the global population suffering from tinnitus—many experiencing significant distress, sleep disturbances, and even depression—this finding could signal new directions for symptom management and treatment for millions, including Thais impacted by this commonly misunderstood condition ScienceAlert.

A new review highlights a significant link between tinnitus—persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears with no external cause—and deep sleep, one of the body’s most vital restorative processes. About 15% of people worldwide live with tinnitus, and many endure distress, sleep disruption, and even depression. The findings could open new paths for managing symptoms and improving quality of life for millions, including Thais affected by this often misunderstood condition. Research by Oxford University neuroscientists points to shared brain activity during tinnitus episodes and slow-wave sleep, suggesting the brain’s sleep architecture may influence tinnitus intensity.
