Arterial hypertension has been cited as a tinnitus etiological factor. To assess the scientific evidence on the associations between arterial hypertension and tinnitus. A systematic review was performed using PubMed, ISI Web, Lilacs and SciELO scientific databases. This review included articles published in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English correlating tinnitus with hypertension. Letters to editors and case reports were excluded. A total of 424 articles were identified, of which only 20 met the inclusion criteria. Studies that analyzed the incidence of hypertension in tinnitus patients tended to show an association, while those that evaluated the incidence of tinnitus in hypertensive patients did not. There is evidence of an association between tinnitus and hypertension, although a cause and effect relationship is uncertain. Changes in the cochlear microcirculation, resulting in hearing loss, may be an adjuvant factor in tinnitus pathophysiology Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2014 Tinnitus nationallicence Arterial hypertension nationallicence Figueiredo Ricardo Federal University of São Paulo, Rua dos Otonis, 700, Vila Clementino, 04025-002, São Paulo, RJ, Brazil aut de Azevedo Andréia Otorrinolaringologia Sul-Fluminense, Rua 40, no 20, salas 216 a 218, Vila Santa Cecília, 27255-650, Volta Redonda, RJ, Brazil aut Penido Norma de Federal University of São Paulo, Rua dos Otonis, 700, Vila Clementino, 04025-002, São Paulo, SP, Brazil aut European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Springer Berlin Heidelberg 272/11(2015-11-01), 3089-3094 0937-4477 272:11<3089 2015 272 405 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-014-3277-y text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence 1 review-article jats NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00405-014-3277-y text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Figueiredo Ricardo Federal University of São Paulo, Rua dos Otonis, 700, Vila Clementino, 04025-002, São Paulo, RJ, Brazil aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- de Azevedo Andréia Otorrinolaringologia Sul-Fluminense, Rua 40, no 20, salas 216 a 218, Vila Santa Cecília, 27255-650, Volta Redonda, RJ, Brazil aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Penido Norma de Federal University of São Paulo, Rua dos Otonis, 700, Vila Clementino, 04025-002, São Paulo, SP, Brazil aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Springer Berlin Heidelberg 272/11(2015-11-01), 3089-3094 0937-4477 272:11<3089 2015 272 405
