Apple Hearing Study Reveals Early Tinnitus Insights

An Apple-sponsored study involving over 160,000 participants reveals that more than 77% have experienced tinnitus, with 15% affected daily. Conducted by the University of Michigan, the research aims to understand the impact of sound exposure through headphones and develop methods to manage tinnitus symptoms. The study highlights that "noise trauma" from recreational activities is a leading cause of tinnitus, and the condition worsens with age. The findings could guide efforts to reduce tinnitus impacts and help develop new hearing-related products.
