There is evidence that the incidence of hyperlipidemia is high among noise-induced hearing loss patients. Hyperlipidemia is the presence of high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood.
One study has shown that tinnitus patients who have been put on a low lipid diet for 24 months had significantly improved tinnitus when compared to patients with higher blood cholesterol [[i]].
