The findings highlight the SP/AP ratio in ECochG as a valuable biomarker for assessing clinical and psychological aspects of tinnitus, indicating its potential utility in tailoring treatment strategies. Elevated SP/AP ratios were associated with sleep disturbances, depression, attention problems, aural fullness, hyperacusis, and low-frequency hearing loss, suggesting a complex interplay between cochlear pathology and tinnitus perception. This study underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of ECochG results in the clinical evaluation of tinnitus, potentially guiding more personalized management approaches.
