What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a symptom of an underlying auditory condition that causes people to hear sounds that are not coming from an external source. These sounds can be ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking and can be soft or loud. Some people hear tinnitus in one ear, while others hear it in both ears or their head. Symptoms of tinnitus can be constant or come and go depending on the individual.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Most often, tinnitus comes from damage to the cochlea, which is a fluid-filled cavity in the inner ear that plays a critical role in hearing. Beyond that, tinnitus can be caused by several other factors, such as:
- Exposure to loud noises
- Age-related hearing loss
- Ear infections
- Certain medications and conditions
