Cognitive Changes
Those with tinnitus have reported changes in cognitive ability. Research is ongoing to provide a definitive link. The changes in cognition relate to the extra burden placed on the processing center of the brain due to the need to constantly process the auditory input.
Those with tinnitus report poor intellectual performance, difficulties processing information, changes to learning processes and problems with coordination. Although research is ongoing, it's possible the sleep problems associated with tinnitus may also be a factor.
