What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a perceived sound in the ear(s) or head without external noise, often described as buzzing, ringing, or hissing.
It's a symptom, not a disease, typically related to auditory system changes like hearing loss. When inner ear hair cells are damaged, the brain compensates, causing the perception of tinnitus.
Symptoms and Impact
These symptoms can severely impact daily life. Some people, called Tinnitus Experiencers, can ignore it, while Tinnitus Sufferers find it disruptive.
Consulting a certified Audiologist is crucial for managing tinnitus, as they offer counseling and strategies to improve health.
Tinnitus can cause:
- Embarrassment
- Irritability
- Stress
- Depression
- Low self-esteem
- Frustration
- Memory problems
- Isolation
- Concentration issues
- Sleep disruption
