What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the medical term for hearing sound in your ears when no external sound is present. Typically, sufferers describe the sound as “ringing in ears,” though others describe it as a hissing, buzzing, whistling, roaring, and even chirping.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Causes include the accumulation of earwax, exposure to loud sounds, head injuries, and blood circulation problems. Tinnitus is known as a side effect of more than 200 prescriptions and over the counter drugs, and many people who suffer from tinnitus also have hearing loss.
Effects of Tinnitus:
Since it’s subjective, the effect for each person differs and can range from a mild annoyance to severely impacting mental and physical health. Some of the more serious issues include:
- Long-term sleep disruption.
- Changes in cognitive ability.
- An inability to concentrate.
- Anxiety and depression.
- Relationship challenges.
