Our first objective was to identify health conditions associated with tinnitus in young adults. The second objective was to evaluate the predictive utility of some known risk factors. Study design: A cross-sectional design was used to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for tinnitus. Setting: A questionnaire was distributed, reaching out to a large college-aged population. A total of 2258 young adults aged 18\u201330 years were recruited from April 2021 to February 2022. Interventions: A questionnaire was administered to investigate the epidemiology of tinnitus in a population of college-aged young adults. Results: About 17.7% of young adults reported bothersome tinnitus perception lasting for \u22655 min in the last 12 months. The prevalence of chronic tinnitus (bothersome tinnitus for \u22651 year) and acute tinnitus (bothersome tinnitus for &lt;1 year) was 10.6% and 7.1%, respectively. About 19% of the study sample reported at least one health condition. Individuals reporting head injury, hypertension, heart disease, scarlet fever, and malaria showed significantly higher odds of reporting chronic tinnitus. Meningitis and self-reported hearing loss showed significant associations with bothersome tinnitus. The prevalence of chronic tinnitus was significantly higher in males reporting high noise exposure, a positive history of reoccurring ear infections, European ethnic background, and a positive health history. Risk modeling showed that noise exposure was the most important risk factor for chronic tinnitus, followed by sex, reoccurring ear infections, and a history of any health condition. A positive history of COVID-19 and self-reported severity showed no association with tinnitus. Individuals reporting reoccurring ear infections showed a significantly higher prevalence of COVID-19. Conclusions: While young adults with health conditions are at a higher risk of reporting tinnitus, the predictive utility of a positive health history remains relatively low, possibly due to weak associations between health conditions and tinnitus. Noise, male sex, reoccurring ear infections, European ethnicity, and a positive health history revealed higher odds of reporting chronic tinnitus than their counterparts. These risk factors collectively explained about 16% variability in chronic tinnitus, which highlights the need for identifying other risk factors for chronic tinnitus in young adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/audiolres13040048","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]],"date-time":"2023-07-20T05:42:01Z","timestamp":1689831721000},"page":"546-562","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Identifying Health-Related Conditions Associated with Tinnitus in Young Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ishan Sunilkumar","family":"Bhatt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3317-8011","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nilesh J.","family":"Washnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hearing Speech and Language Sciences, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Kingsbury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8226-3327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aniruddha K.","family":"Deshpande","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hailey","family":"Kingsbury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Srividya Grama","family":"Bhagavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klayre","family":"Michel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Dias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32603, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0232-8053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Torkamani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrative Structural and Computational Biology, Scripps Science Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"711","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2010.02.015","article-title":"Prevalence and Characteristics of Tinnitus among US Adults","volume":"123","author":"Shargorodsky","year":"2010","journal-title":"Am.
