Browsing: Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds in the ears or head without any external sound source. It is a symptom rather than a condition and can be caused by various factors such as exposure to loud noise, ear infections, age-related hearing loss, or certain medications. Tinnitus can range from mild to severe, with some individuals experiencing it constantly, while others may notice it intermittently. Although there is no cure for tinnitus, various treatments like sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and lifestyle changes can help manage its effects and improve quality of life.
