Curr Med Sci. 2021 Aug;41(4):649-653. doi: 10.1007/s11596-021-2410-6. Epub 2021 Aug 17.

Abstract

Migraine is one of the most common and highest burdens of disease. As a primary cerebral dysfunction illness, migraine might exhibit other system-related symptoms, including vestibular and cochlear symptoms. With the publication of the diagnostic criteria of vestibular migraine, the link between migraine and vestibular symptoms became clear. However, the relationship between migraine and cochlear symptoms is far from straightforward. Therefore, we focus on the correlation between migraine and deafness, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, acute tinnitus, and chronic tinnitus to better understand the relationship between migraine and cochlear symptoms.

Keywords: cochlear symptoms; deafness; migraine; tinnitus.
