Elderly Tinnitus and Neuropsychological Dysfunction
Edit

Tinnitus is a common and disabling symptom often associated with hearing loss. While clinical practice frequently shows that a certain degree of psychological discomfort often characterizes tinnitus suffers, it has been recently suggested in adults as a determining factor for cognitive decline affecting attention and memory domains.

1. Introduction

Tinnitus consisting of the perception of sounds in the absence of external stimuli is a very common and disabling condition with pervasive effects on health and wellbeing. In 95% of cases, tinnitus is subjective and described as a buzz, click, hiss, ring, roar, hum, or pulsatile. The prevalence increases with age, affecting 24–45% of the elderly [1], where tinnitus is frequently associated to hearing impairment. Noise exposure, which is the greater risk factor for the development of both hearing loss and tinnitus [2][3], contributes to the increase in prevalence among the elderly. Tinnitus can occur as an isolated idiopathic symptom or in association with otologic disease, such as otosclerosis [4] and Meniere disease [5], drug ototoxicity [6], cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic diseases [7], chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus [8]. On the other hand, it could be associated with any type of deafness as well as with a normal hearing threshold as in the case of ototoxicity from aspirin and quinine [9] or migraine [10]. Cochlear mechanism and involvement of central auditory and non-auditory pathways thought to underlie tinnitus with or without hearing loss are still controversial. Major evidence suggests that tinnitus is related to a failure of the central auditory pathway to adapt to the loss of afferent peripheral fibers due to peripheral damage [11][12], leading to plastic neuronal changes in the tonotopic map of the auditory cortex, as a “maladaptive plasticity”, which concurs in maintaining tinnitus in a sort of “vicious circle” [13][14][15][16][17]. All these changes in the central auditory pathway, together with the neuroplastic reorganization within the thalamus and the structures of the limbic and paralimbic circuits [18], induced us to speculate about a possible relationship between tinnitus, psychological distress, and cognitive impairment, with a positive correlation to tinnitus severity [19][20].

2. Possible Links between Tinnitus and Neuropsychological Dysfunction in the Elderly

2.1. Psychological Distress

It is largely demonstrated that psychiatric discomfort is present in a large number of tinnitus suffers, with a higher prevalence of anxiety rather that depression [21][22] (Table 1). Tinnitus may directly determine a psychiatric condition; even if sleep disorders and insomnia evoked by tinnitus could induce emotional distress or unmask a pre-existing but compensated disorder. Aazh H et al. [23] retrospectively verified a strong association between tinnitus annoyance, depression level, and insomnia score in the elderly.

2.2. Cognitive Impairment

Based on behavioral evidence, psychological markers of attention switching (i.e., cognitive and emotional control) are impaired in chronic tinnitus suggesting that the reduced cognitive control may be pivotal in maintaining the awareness of tinnitus. According to the literature (Table 2), tinnitus patients have poor cognitive performance, but it is still unclear whether cognitive impairment is a response to tinnitus manifestations or a feature of it, especially in the elderly. By using MMSE as a screening tool for cognitive impairment hearing threshold and anxious–depressive traits measured with hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS) questionnaire, scores for cognitive dysfunction were slightly increased by age and gender [24] (Table 1). Few other reports suggest the relationship between neurocognitive abilities and tinnitus severity [31][32], even if its mechanism remains controversial [5]. Thus, a key point in the elderly population is whether cognitive impairment is related to age-related hearing loss (ARHL) or to tinnitus per se.

How chronic tinnitus causes cognitive deficits might be found in functional and structural brain alterations that were studied by Lee et al. [33]. Patients with MCI were divided in two groups (tinnitus and non-tinnitus groups) and were tested through FDG-PET to evaluate glucose metabolic connectivity. The tinnitus–MCI group showed a lower metabolism in the right superior temporal pole (which comprises the auditory cortex and is associated with the cognitive social processes interacting with limbic areas) and in the fusiform gyrus (which is altered in semantic dementia), if compared with non-tinnitus group. Furthermore, they exhibited significantly lower gray matter volume in the right insula (which is involved in the emotional reaction to tinnitus), and the THI was inversely correlated with it. Thus, the evidence for a causal link between tinnitus and MCI might be found in the pathophysiology of tinnitus and in the central neural changes that it determines. Surely, future studies in this direction could help to establish the causal link.

3. Summary

The association between tinnitus and psychological distress has been demonstrated, although only a few studies addressed this topic to the elderly. More difficult is the task of proving the association between cognitive dysfunction and tinnitus. Patients with chronic tinnitus (with or without hearing impairment) refer attention and memory failures, which reflects the dropped ability to shift attention away from phantom sounds in order to achieve proper cognitive performances [32].

A current key point is to evaluate if tinnitus-related comorbidities effectively depend on tinnitus or the hearing loss that is often associated. Limitations of this systematic review are that there are no reports on the effect of tinnitus on specific cognitive domains and its impact in older patients with good hearing.

Another limit is that, even if some studies (i.e., those of Lee and Yun) evaluated the relationship with MCI, which is a common dysfunction in older patients [37], results are hardly comparable, as they use different methods to validate cognitive impairment. Therefore, it is hard to understand if tinnitus matters as an independent risk factor.

Tinnitus is a common and disabling symptom especially in adults, and it is often associated with hearing loss in older people. Elderly patients affected by chronic tinnitus have dysfunctional traits, such as anxiety and depression, and demonstrate reduced cognitive functions. In older patients affected by hearing loss, tinnitus seems to worsen cognitive dysfunction. However, further studies are required to improve the evidence supporting the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and tinnitus.
