Tinnitus

If you hear a ringing in the ears that others

cannot hear, you may have tinnitus.

This subjective perception of sound

inside your head may be described as ringing, roaring,

buzzing, chirping, pulsing, or whooshing.

Hearing loss may or may not be

associated with this ringing.

You are not alone. Many people suffer from at least a mild

ringing at some time or another.

While the cause is difficult to pinpoint, some potential causes have been

identified, including: noise exposure, hearing impairment, head or neck injury and trauma, migraines, ear canal obstructions, hypertension,

vascular disorders, anemia, tumors, and even excessive use of caffeine or

nicotine.

While stopping the noise may be impossible, the

symptoms may be treated. After a thorough medical

and hearing health history and evaluation, your

physician or audiologist will discuss your treatment

options.

If you are experiencing difficulty related to

“noise in your head”, call a hearing healthcare professional today.
