Clinic

  • Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no corresponding external sound is present, often described as a ringing, it may also sound like a clicking, buzzing, hissing or roaring. It may be soft or loud, low- or high-pitched, and may seem to come from one or both ears or from the head itself.
  • It may interfere with concentration, and in some cases is associated with anxiety and depression.
  • Usually associated with a degree of hearing loss and decreased comprehension of speech in noisy environments.
  • It is common, affecting about 10–15% of people. Most, however, tolerate it well, and it is a significant problem in only 1–2% of all people.
  • Rather than a disease, tinnitus is a symptom that may result from various underlying causes and may be generated at any level of the auditory system and structures beyond that system.
