Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses about Migraines and Tinnitus in Veterans' Disability.
Leah discusses the connection between migraines and tinnitus in veterans. She explains that many veterans suffer from service-connected tinnitus, often caused by acoustic noise trauma during active duty. Leah, drawing from her own experience and background in occupational hearing, emphasizes the variability of noise exposure across different military roles and its impact on developing tinnitus. She explains that tinnitus and migraines often have a reciprocal relationship, where one can exacerbate the other, forming a vicious cycle. Citing a study from Biomedical Research International (2015), she notes that both conditions share a pathophysiological mechanism involving alterations in thalamocortical activity.
