About
We aim to better understand the relationships between tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss and metabolic diseases. By analyzing extensive data from the UK Biobank, we will investigate if people with metabolic conditions are more likely to experience hearing loss and tinnitus and if specific metabolic pathways are involved. This study could identify substances in the body (metabolites) that could be related to hearing loss and tinnitus. Our findings might lead to earlier detection and new treatments for hearing loss and tinnitus. The project will last for 36 months, during which we will analyze data and share our discoveries to benefit public health.
