Association between migraine and tinnitus among young people found in the i-Share cohort study.

Researchers from the HEALTHY (Health, well-being and achievement in the young) team of the Bordeaux Population Health research center (BPH) found an association between headaches and tinnitus, in a study led on 5729 students from the i-Share cohort.

With a mean age of 20.8 years, 1645 participants reported migraine. They were 8,9% to report tinnitus. Among young adults reporting migraine with aura, 10.8% reported tinnitus. Assuming causality, the attributable risk percent between tinnitus and migraine is 43% and for migraine with aura 52%.
