What is a tinnitus test and how is it performed?
Tinnitus is a common condition that affects more than 740 million adults globally and is perceived as a major problem by more than 120 million people, mostly aged 65 years or older. In 2019, an estimated 37% of adult Canadians (9.2 million) had experienced tinnitus; it was bothersome for 7% of the population. Tinnitus was associated with poor self-reported mental health, mood disorder, a weak sense of community belonging, high daily stress, and poor-quality sleep.
