Otorhinolaryngology and anxiety: A complex interconnection explored based on evidence

Abstract

This article synthesizes findings from indexed medical journals to elucidate the intrinsic relationship between tinnitus and anxiety. By examining epidemiological data, neurobiological mechanisms and clinical implications, it offers insights into the bidirectional impact of these conditions and highlights the importance of comprehensive management strategies.
