A recent study published in Hearing Research explores the relationship between naps and tinnitus, revealing that somatosensory modulations may lead to increased tinnitus loudness after naps. Factors such as snoring, sleep apnea, and muscle tonus can contribute to this phenomenon. The study involved 37 tinnitus patients and found that tinnitus loudness increased following naps. Snoring and sleep apnea during naps worsened tinnitus symptoms. However, somatosensory modulations involving the temporomandibular joint were not significantly linked to tinnitus changes. Overall, the study offers insights into managing tinnitus triggered by naps.
