Tinnitus

Tinnitus, often described as a ringing in the ears, is the perception of sound without an external source. The sound can vary—ringing, buzzing, hissing, clicking, or roaring—and may occur in one or both ears. This condition affects millions worldwide and can be temporary or chronic. Tinnitus is commonly caused by hearing loss, prolonged noise exposure, earwax buildup, or medical conditions such as Meniere’s disease. Early diagnosis and the right treatment can help manage symptoms effectively and improve quality of life.
