对自杀的耳鸣患者进行了回顾性研究。编制了一份调查表，并在全世界分发。获得了关于28起自杀事件的充分资料。自杀和左侧耳鸣之间的关联先前报道，没有最终复制。事实上，没有特别的耳鸣参数，或相关的听力学症状在自杀系列中被过度代表。在人口统计学上，耳鸣自杀受害者的特点是男性，老年人和社会孤立。精神病发病率很高，特别是抑郁症（70%）。在自杀前一年内，有5人自杀未遂。
A retrospective study of tinnitus sufferers who had committed suicide was undertaken. A questionnaire was compiled, and circulated world-wide. Adequate information was obtained on 28 suicides. An association between suicide and left-sided tinnitus reported previously, was not conclusively replicated. In fact, no particular tinnitus parameter, or associated audiological symptom was over-represented in the suicide series. Demographically, tinnitus suicide victims were characterized by being male, elderly, and socially isolated. There was a high prevalence of psychiatric morbidity, in particular depression (70%). A suicide attempt within the year preceding suicide occurred in five individuals.
