Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external sound source. It is often described as a ringing in the ears, but it can also be experienced as ringing in ears, along with hissing, whistling, or other sounds.
Tinnitus can be temporary or persistent and can affect one or both ears. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to loud noises, certain medications, ear infections, earwax buildup, head or neck injuries, and underlying health conditions such as high blood pressure, anxiety, or depression.
In some cases, the cause of tinnitus cannot be identified. It can be a distressing and disruptive condition, and treatment options may include managing underlying health conditions, sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or medication.
