Hyperinsulinemia: The Common Denominator of Subjective Idiopathic Tinnitus and Other Idiopathic Central and Peripheral Neurootologic Disorders

Int Tinnitus J. 1995;1(1):46-53.

Abstract

Hyperinsulinemia as determined by glucose/insulin tolerance identified an etiologic relationship to idiopathic Menière's disease. This was subsequently concurred with internationally by others. Proctor identified hyperinsulinemia in Subjective Idiopathic Tinnitus (SIT). Hyperinsulinemia and migraine with tinnitus and/or vertigo were also correlated.
