Tinnitus severity linked to mood, sleep and personality traits

Wed, 08/20/2025 - 09:15

How severely a person experiences tinnitus is shaped by their mood, sleep quality and even personality traits, a new study has found.

Tinnitus is a persistent ringing or buzzing in the ears that affects roughly 14 per cent of adults worldwide. It is known to be linked to hearing loss and to affect people differently.

In order to gain a better understanding of impacts on individuals, ɬ﷬ researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, developed a predictive model.

Study has implications beyond medical education, suggesting other fields could benefit from AI-enhanced training

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful new tool in training and education, including in the field of neurosurgery. Yet a new study suggests that AI tutoring provides better results when paired with human instruction.

New tool helps seniors reduce unnecessary medications

Mon, 08/04/2025 - 09:09

ɬ﷬ researchers have developed and are licensing a digital tool to help safely reduce patients’ use of medications that may be unnecessary or even harmful to them.

When clinicians review a patient’s file, flags potentially inappropriate medications. In a , the software helped deprescribe such medications in 36 per cent of long-term care residents, nearly triple as many as when reviews were done without the tool.

Montreal researchers use AI and wearable sensors to detect inflammation before symptoms appear

Modern medicine is largely reactive—treating illness only after symptoms emerge. But a new study from the Research Institute of the ɬ﷬ Health Centre (The Institute) and ɬ﷬ points to a more proactive future: one where silent signs of infection are detected before we even feel sick.

ɬ﷬ is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous Peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg Nations. ɬ﷬ honours, recognizes, and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which peoples of the world now gather. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
