Does [ Social psychological factors cause of acute exacerbation or re-decompensation of clinically significant chronic tinnitus ]?
Emerging hearing loss is the main cause of acute exacerbation of chronic tinnitus. To find it in time and give effective treatment can save newly presented hearing loss, cure or relieve tinnitus. Adverse events in life(or working) and short of social support is another important cause of acute exacerbation of chronic tinnitus or decompensation recurrence, which suggests that social-psychological factors besides of hearing loss should be concerned in diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus.
In the present study, we could not replicate the reported association of these two SNPs and either nAMD or PCV in a Chinese population, suggesting that they are unlikely to be a major AMD and PCV susceptibility gene locus in the Chinese population. Considering the low power value, a large sample size is required to draw more reliable conclusions.
