===Children=== Tinnitus is commonly thought of as a symptom of adulthood, and is often overlooked in children. Children with hearing loss have a high incidence of pediatric tinnitus, even though they do not express the condition or its effect on their lives.<ref name="Celik et al">{{cite journal |last1=Celik |first1=N |last2=Bajin |first2=MD |last3=Aksoy |first3=S |year=2009 |title=Tinnitus incidence and characteristics in children with hearing loss |journal=Journal of International Advanced Otology |volume=5 |issue=3 |pages=363β369 |oclc=695291085 |hdl=11655/17046 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lee |first1=Doh Young |last2=Kim |first2=Young Ho |title=Risk factors of pediatric tinnitus: Systematic review and meta-analysis |journal=The Laryngoscope |date=June 2018 |volume=128 |issue=6 |pages=1462β1468 |doi=10.1002/lary.26924 |pmid=29094364 |s2cid=24633085 }}</ref> Children do not generally report tinnitus spontaneously and their complaints may not be taken seriously.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Mills | first1= RP | last2= Albert |first2=D | last3= Brain |first3= C |year = 1986 | title = Tinnitus in childhood | journal = Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences |volume = 11 | issue = 6 | pages = 431β434 | doi= 10.1111/j.1365-2273.1986.tb02033.x | pmid= 3815868 }}</ref> Among those who do complain, there is an increased likelihood of associated otological or neurological pathology such as migraine, juvenile Meniere's disease, or chronic suppurative otitis media.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ballantyne JC |editor1=Graham JM |editor2=Baguley D |year=2009 |title=Ballantyne's Deafness |edition= 7th |location=Chichester |publisher=Wiley-Blackwell |oclc=275152841 }}</ref> Its reported prevalence varies from 12 to 36% in children with normal hearing thresholds, and up to 66% in children with a hearing loss.
