Do you think you hear sound when none is present? Does it sound like there’s a constant buzzing, hissing, whistling, swooshing or clicking noise in your ears?

If so, you might be experiencing tinnitus, or “ringing in the ears.”

What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is an audiological and neurological condition that affects nearly 15 percent of people, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

Simply put, tinnitus is a sign of damage to the ear. It signals a disruption in how sound is transmitted and processed in the brain.

These annoying sounds can get in the way of everyday life, making it difficult to hear or allow the person to focus, but they can also cause more severe health issues if left untreated.
