Tinnitus is a condition in which one or both ears perceive ringing or other disturbances. Moreover, tinnitus is a condition in which the noise you hear is not created by an external sound, and it is typically undetectable to others. Furthermore, it is a very prevalent condition, and it affects around 15% to 20% of persons and is most prevalent in older adults.
Tinnitus is typically caused by an underlying ailment, such as hearing loss due to aging, an ear injury, or a circulatory system problem. It often improves with treatment of the underlying cause or with additional therapies that diminish or cover the noise, masking the tinnitus.
Because there is no cure for long-term tinnitus at the moment, therapy often focuses on assisting patients in managing their symptoms. Tinnitus patients may benefit from techniques such as sound therapy, relaxation techniques, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
According to Healthline, if you have tinnitus, you may also hear:
- roaring
- buzzing
- whistling
- hissing

- Damage to your eardrums.
- Ear tumors or tumors on the auditory nerve.

- Prescription medication usage can also result in tinnitus and hearing loss.
