The Link Between Tinnitus and Brain Fog

People with recent-onset tinnitus scored significantly lower on cognitive tests measuring memory, focus, and processing speed, even after accounting for age, stroke, diabetes, and other risk factors

Tinnitus hijacks your brain’s attention system, draining cognitive resources and making it harder to concentrate, switch tasks, or remember details

Women and those with lower education levels face a higher risk of cognitive impairment when tinnitus is present, suggesting certain groups need earlier intervention

Brain imaging studies show that hearing loss causes shrinkage in areas tied to memory and decision-making, especially the hippocampus — a key region also affected by tinnitus

You can lower your risk by avoiding loud noise exposure, improving sleep, boosting magnesium, supporting gut health with fruit and fiber, and calming your nervous system with daily relaxation practices
