What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus refers to the perception of sound in the absence of an external source. It can present as various types of sounds, such as ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or roaring. This auditory sensation can be intermittent or continuous and may occur in one or both ears.
Many factors can contribute to the development of tinnitus, including exposure to loud noises, age-related hearing loss, earwax buildup, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment approach.
