Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a medical condition characterized by the perception of a ringing, buzzing, or roaring sound in the ears, even when there is no external sound present. It is a common condition, affecting approximately 1 in 5 people and is often debilitating, leading to considerable psychological, physical and social distress. Treatment options are available which can help to manage tinnitus and reduce its impact, including sound therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and medications. Tinnitus can be a symptom of hearing loss, and regular hearing tests can help to identify and address any underlying issues.
