Frequent use of over-the-counter analgesics associated with risk of tinnitus
Over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics, such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), and acetaminophen, are some of the most commonly used medications, widely available without a prescription, and perceived to be safe. But frequent use—including inadvertently exceeding a recommended dose when taking cold and sinus medications that contain these analgesics—can potentially cause harm. Very high doses of aspirin can lead to reversible tinnitus, but a new longitudinal study, led by ...

Tinnitus-like “hallucinations” elicited by sensory deprivation in an entropy maximization recurrent neural network
by Aviv Dotan, Oren Shriki
Sensory deprivation has long been known to cause hallucinations or “phantom” sensations, the most common of which is tinnitus induced by hearing loss, affecting 10–20% of the population. An observable hearing loss, causing auditory sensory deprivation over a band of frequencies, is present in over 90% of people with tinnitus. Existing plasticity-based computational models for tinnitus are usually driven by homeostatic mechanisms, modeled to fit phenomenological findings. ...
