Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of noise or ringing in the ears. A common problem, tinnitus affects around 15-20% of people. Tinnitus is not a condition in itself - it is a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, injury to the ear, or a disorder of the circulatory system. Although bothersome, tinnitus is usually not a sign of anything serious. Although it can get worse with age, for many people, tinnitus can improve with treatment. Treating an identified underlying cause is sometimes helpful. Other treatments reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less visible. Phantom noise can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high-pitched cry, and you can hear it in one or both ears. In some cases, the sound may be so loud that it may interfere with your ability to concentrate or hear the external sound. Tinnitus can be present all the time, or they can come and go.
