Abstract
Abstract: The experience of tinnitus can range from inducing annoyance to debility. In the US, tinnitus is estimated to affect 1 in 10 adults, though it is known to be underreported. Often dismissed, tinnitus can be a precursor for treatable pathologies. Primary tinnitus has no known cure but is associated with multiple comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Understanding the symptomatology and treatment guidelines is essential for the NP to care holistically for these patients and improve their quality of life.
