Tinnitus severity is reduced with reduction of depressive mood--a prospective population study in Sweden.

Tinnitus, the perception of sound without external source, is a highly prevalent public health problem with about 8% of the population having frequently occurring tinnitus, and about 1-2% experiencing significant distress from it. Population studies, as well as studies on self-selected samples, have...
