Plasma Inflammatory Biomarkers and Risk of Incident Tinnitus: A Longitudinal Study

Key Points

The aim is to investigate the relationship between plasma inflammatory biomarkers and the risk of developing tinnitus in women.
Longitudinal study design
Assessment of three inflammatory biomarkers: CRP, IL-6, and TNFR-2
Focus on women's health status and tinnitus development over time
No significant association between CRP, IL-6, and TNFR-2 levels and tinnitus incidence
Data indicate that systemic inflammation markers likely do not predict tinnitus risk

Abstract

Three plasma biomarkers of inflammation-CRP, IL-6, and TNFR-2-were not significantly associated with increased risk of incident tinnitus in women. Our data suggest that markers of systemic inflammation may not be indicators of vulnerability to tinnitus.
