About the Disease & Condition

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears without an external source. It can be temporary or chronic and may affect one or both ears. Causes include age-related hearing loss, noise exposure, ear infections, wax buildup, or underlying medical conditions such as hypertension or neurological disorders. While not always curable, tinnitus management focuses on treating underlying causes, reducing symptom severity, and improving quality of life through therapies, hearing aids, or sound masking techniques.
