A retrospective population-based cohort study reveals an elevated risk of tinnitus among patients with postzoster neuralgia compared to matched controls. Data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort indicated that 1.35 times more patients with postzoster neuralgia developed tinnitus during long-term follow-up. The incidence of tinnitus was notably higher among older patients, especially those aged 60 and above. Additionally, comorbid conditions such as hearing loss, sleep disorders, and anxiety significantly increased the risk of developing tinnitus.
