Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming, clicking, or whistling sounds in the ears without any external source of sound. It is not a disease itself but often a symptom of an underlying ear condition, hearing loss, ear infection, excessive earwax, or circulatory disorder. While tinnitus can be temporary, persistent tinnitus may affect sleep, concentration, emotional well-being, and quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help identify the cause and significantly reduce symptoms. Pristyn Care offers comprehensive tinnitus evaluation and treatment through experienced ENT specialists across India. Book an appointment today to identify the underlying cause and receive personalized care.

Why Choose Pristyn Care?
Subjective Tinnitus
This is the most common type of tinnitus and can only be heard by the patient. It is often associated with hearing loss, noise exposure, or ear disorders.
Objective Tinnitus
Objective tinnitus is rare and can sometimes be heard by a doctor during examination. It is usually caused by vascular or muscular abnormalities.
Pulsatile Tinnitus
Pulsatile tinnitus is characterized by a rhythmic sound that matches the heartbeat. Patients often describe it as a heartbeat sound in the ear or a pulsating sound in the ear. This condition may require further evaluation to rule out blood vessel abnormalities.
Tinnitus causes can vary significantly from person to person.
Common causes include:
Hearing Loss
Age-related hearing loss is one of the leading causes of tinnitus.
Exposure to Loud Noise
Long-term exposure to loud music, machinery, construction noise, or explosions can damage inner ear structures.
Earwax Blockage
Excessive earwax can block the ear canal and trigger tinnitus symptoms.
Tinnitus after an ear infection is relatively common and may improve after treatment of the infection.
Upper Respiratory Infections
Some people experience tinnitus after a cold due to inflammation affecting the middle ear.

I don’t have any words about the treatment provided by pristyn care. Everything was spot on. I want to appreciate their free vehicle service. They provided free vehicle service on the day of treatment to and from hospital and home. It helped me to just focus on my treatment and procedure.
