At Audiology Associates, we make it a priority to stay closely connected to emerging conversations across the medical community.
We recently came across an article in Psychiatric Times discussing a case of tinnitus associated with bupropion, where symptoms improved following a dosage adjustment.
This highlights an important reality:
Tinnitus is often multifactorial, and in some cases, may be influenced by medications commonly used in psychiatric care.
For patients, this can look like:
✔ New or worsening tinnitus after starting or adjusting medication
✔ Increased awareness of ringing alongside anxiety or stress
✔ Overlapping hearing and neurological symptoms
Situations like this reinforce the importance of a collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach.
At Audiology Associates, we believe there is a strong opportunity to work alongside:
• Psychiatrists
• Psychologists
• Primary care providers
…to help identify contributing factors and ensure patients receive well-rounded, informed care when tinnitus is involved.
Our role is to provide comprehensive hearing evaluations and tinnitus insight, helping complete the picture so the best decisions can be made for each patient.

Bupropion may cause dose-linked tinnitus; this case shows symptoms improve after dose reduction, helping manage depression without stopping treatment.
