Tinnitus
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in your ears or head without any external source. It can sound like:
Ringing
Buzzing
Hissing
Roaring
While tinnitus itself is not a disease, it is often a symptom of underlying hearing problems or medical conditions.
Common Causes of Tinnitus
Some of the most frequent triggers include:
Hearing loss – Age-related or noise-induced hearing damage is the leading cause.
Earwax buildup or ear infections – Can create temporary tinnitus.
Loud noise exposure – Concerts, machinery, or prolonged headphone use.
Medical conditions – High blood pressure, diabetes, or certain medications.
Symptoms to Watch For
Tinnitus may vary in intensity and frequency. Common signs include:
Persistent ringing or buzzing in one or both ears
Increased sensitivity to everyday sounds
Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
Occasionally, dizziness or ear fullness
If you notice sudden or severe tinnitus, especially in one ear, seek prompt evaluation by a medical provider like your primary care provider and/or an audiologist.
