The present study has examined the detrimental effects which alcohol has on tinnitus in a consecutive series of 51 patients seen in a tinnitus clinic and reporting such an effect. Eighty-four per cent of those studied reported that the level of the tinnitus was increased by the alcohol, 73% that they became more aware of it, and 47% that it increased the effect of the alcohol on their sleep. Compared with patients reporting beneficial effects on tinnitus, they consumed less alcohol, they comprised a higher proportion of younger females, and they were more likely to report that their tinnitus was worse the next day. There were no marked differences between the effects of different types of alcohol.
本研究对耳鸣门诊连续接诊的51例自述饮酒会对耳鸣产生不良影响的患者进行了调查。84%的受调查者称饮酒会使耳鸣程度加重，73%的人表示饮酒后对耳鸣更加敏感，47%的人认为饮酒会影响睡眠。与自述饮酒对耳鸣有改善作用的患者相比，这些患者饮酒量较少，年轻女性占比更高，且更有可能表示第二天耳鸣会加重。不同类型的酒精产生的影响没有显著差异。
