Tinnitus - What It Is And How To Get Relief
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus (“TIN-a-tus” or “tin-EYE-tus”) is the medical term for the sensation of hearing sound in your ears when no external sound is present. In most cases, tinnitus is a subjective noise, meaning only the sufferer can hear it. Typically, sufferers describe the sound as “ringing in ears”, though others describe it as hissing, buzzing, whistling, roaring and even chirping.
The Effects Of Tinnitus Are Real
Because tinnitus is subjective, it affects people in different ways. For some, it’s a minor annoyance, one they can deal with easily. For others, it can result in more serious issues such as:
- Long-term sleep disruption
- Changes in cognitive ability
- An inability to concentrate (e.g., completing tasks or reading)
- Stress in relationships
- Anxiety and depression
- Employment challenges
