Tinnitus and the influence of hearing loss
... Tinnitus affects 10%–15% of the general population worldwide, i.e. around 280 million people.1 Of these, 1%–2% (up to 5.6 million) suffer impairments of daily living. The burden of tinnitus is expected to grow further due to the increasing size of the elderly population and noise exposure in both wo ...
