Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Tinnitus, a condition with no cure, can significantly impact quality of life.
  • Numerous factors contribute to tinnitus, including hearing loss, noise exposure, and neurological or infectious diseases.
  • This study presents new data on tinnitus prevalence and associated factors in Canada.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize new tinnitus data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS).
  • To examine factors associated with tinnitus in the Canadian adult population.
  • To understand the prevalence and characteristics of bothersome tinnitus.

Main Methods:

  • Data from 6,571 Canadians aged 19-79 (2012-2015 CHMS) were analyzed.
  • Tinnitus was defined as perceived sounds without external sources; bothersome tinnitus affected sleep, concentration, or mood.
  • Bivariate and logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with tinnitus.

Main Results:

  • An estimated 37% of Canadian adults (9.2 million) experienced tinnitus in the past year; 7% found it bothersome.
  • Younger adults (19-29 years) showed a higher prevalence (46%) compared to older groups.
  • Tinnitus was associated with poor mental health, mood disorders, low community belonging, high stress, and poor sleep.

Conclusions:

  • Tinnitus is a prevalent condition in Canadian adults, with younger age groups showing higher rates.
  • Exposure to loud noise may contribute to increased tinnitus prevalence in younger populations.
  • Enhanced public awareness, prevention, and management strategies for tinnitus are recommended for Canadians.
