Chronic tinnitus is defined as occurring for 3 months or

longer; representing 5 to 10 percent of the current U.S. population, with less than 1

More than 200 drugs are known to cause tinnitus as a side effect when starting them or stopping them and

approximately 16 million people seek medical attention for the tinnitus

annually, affecting nearly 50 million people every year.

Tinnitus is most commonly found in men, seniors, blue-collar workers and

with certain heart problems

It is not a disease but a symptom of something wrong with your auditory system, but

chances are that the worse your hearing is the worse your

tinnitus is

There are many underlying causes of tinnitus such as age-related hearing loss despite any

exposure to intense or loud sounds, ear infections or ear

disease

After age and gender, surveys show that

excessive noise exposure is a culprit, bringing on the

onset of the condition.

One of the most important sources for tinnitus or muffled hearing is the constant use of an MP3 player, playing music loudly through an

iPhone, or any other activity, that over a prolonged period of time can and will

deteriorate your hearing.
