Association May Exist Between Severe Tinnitus And Risk For Attempted Suicide In Women, Researchers Say

HealthDay (5/2, Reinberg) reports that a “survey of 72,000 Swedish adults found that 9% of women who suffered from severe tinnitus had attempted suicide, as had 5.5% of men.” But, following data analysis, “researchers found that the association between ringing ears and risk for attempted suicide was only significant for women.” The findings were published online May 2 in a research letter in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery.
