There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of tinnitus and its contribution to the overall quality of life in VS, and there are many theories regarding the pathogenesis of tinnitus in VS, including cochlear, neural, and central mechanisms. Assessment should include speech audiometry in addition to pure-tone audiometry, as VS patients often have worse speech discrimination than would be expected from their pure-tone thresholds. There is no objective measure of tinnitus. Questionnaires may be used to assess the impact of tinnitus and its common comorbidities. Management of VS-associated tinnitus starts with explanation and counseling. Addressing hearing loss is often helpful: if the affected ear still has useful hearing, conventional hearing aids may be used. If there is no useful hearing on the affected side, contralateral routing of signal (CROS) hearing aids, bone conduction hearing implants (BCHI), or cochlear implantation may be beneficial. For patients with bilateral profound hearing loss following VS surgery, auditory brainstem implantation may help. Psychologic therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, are commonly recommended for use in general tinnitus clinics, although there is no evidence base supporting these modalities for VS patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":12907,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of clinical neurology","volume":"212 ","pages":"417-431"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have direct connections to the main circadian clock in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus and modulate a variety of physiological processes, pineal melatonin secretion, autonomic functions, cognitive processes such as attention, and behavior, including sleep and wakefulness. This is because efferent projections from the SCN reach other hypothalamic nuclei, the pineal gland, thalamus, basal forebrain, and the brainstem. The ipRGCs also directly impact the prefrontal cortex and the perihabenular nucleus (mood). In particular, light suppresses the secretion of melatonin in a dose-dependent manner, mainly depending on irradiance and spectral composition of light. There is evidence that exposure to light-emitting devices from luminaires and screens before bedtime can impact on sleep onset latency, sleep duration, and sleep quality. Likewise, light exposure during daytime modulates sleep architecture, duration, and sleep quality during the subsequent night. Therefore, the integration of acute, circadian, and long-term effects of light together influence sleep-wake quality and behavior in healthy individuals, as well as in patients with psychiatric or medical disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":12907,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of clinical neurology","volume":"206 ","pages":"3-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143046052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
