Abstract:
We evaluated the relationship between sleep factors and tinnitus risk using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2012), focusing on adults aged 20 to 80 years. Our analysis included 4354 participants, with sleep patterns categorized as healthy, intermediate, or poor. We observed that both short (odds ratio [OR]: 1.43) and long (OR: 1.48) sleep durations increased the risk of tinnitus compared with the healthy range (7-9 hours). Additionally, sleep disturbances were significantly correlated with tinnitus (OR: 1.52), with the strongest association occurring in individuals with poor sleep patterns (OR: 1.71). The results of the weighted logistic regression analysis underscored these findings.
