Introduction
If you’ve ever heard a constant ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears, you know how distracting and frustrating it can be. Even when everything around you is quiet, the sound seems impossible to escape.
This condition is called Tinnitus, and it affects millions of people around the world. The good news is that understanding why it happens can make it easier to manage — and in many cases, reduce its impact on your daily life.
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound without an external source. In simple terms, your ears and brain create sounds that no one else can hear.
People with tinnitus may notice:
- Ringing
- Buzzing
- Hissing
- Clicking
- Whistling sounds
It may affect one ear, both ears, or seem like it’s coming from inside the head.
