Understanding Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound source is present. This can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling, whooshing, humming, or a variety of other sounds. It may be constant or intermittent and can vary in volume. Tinnitus can be a symptom of an underlying condition or a standalone issue.
Common Causes of Tinnitus
Tinnitus can be caused by various factors, including:
- Noise Exposure: Prolonged exposure to loud noises, such as in a noisy workplace or loud recreational activities like concerts, can lead to tinnitus.
- Age-Related Hearing Loss: Hearing loss associated with aging can trigger tinnitus.
- Earwax Blockage: A buildup of earwax can interfere with the normal function of the ear and lead to tinnitus.
- Medications: Some medications, particularly when taken in high doses, can contribute to tinnitus as a side effect.
- Hearing Loss: Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss, as the brain compensates for reduced auditory input by generating internal sounds.
- Ear and Sinus Infections: Infections in the ear or sinus can lead to temporary tinnitus.
