Tinnitus

What is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is commonly described as a ringing sound, but some people may report other sounds, such as roaring or buzzing. It means the perception of sound in the ear when no external sound is present in the environment. Many individuals experience tinnitus on different occasions, and some report constant perception of it. Tinnitus is common among hearing-impaired individuals, with surveys estimating that 10 to 25% of adults have it. Children can also have it. Tinnitus is not a disease. It is a symptom that an individual may experience.

What are the causes of tinnitus?

The causes of tinnitus are unclear, but most people have hearing loss. Tinnitus is only rarely associated with a severe medical problem. However, some people find that it affects their mood and ability to sleep or concentrate. In severe cases, tinnitus can lead to anxiety or depression.

What are the symptoms of Tinnitus?

Tinnitus symptoms can vary significantly from person to person. When there is no external sound, a person may hear sounds in one ear, both ears or in the head.

The tinnitus may sound like ring, buzz, roar, whistle, hum, click, hiss, or squeal.

The sound may be soft or loud and may be low or high-pitched.

Tinnitus may come and go or be present all the time.

Sometimes, head and neck movements may produce tinnitus symptoms or temporarily change the quality of the perceived sound.
