What is Tinnitus
November 19th, 2008Tinnitus is the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound.
Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, “crickets” or “tree frogs” or “locusts”, tunes, songs, or beeping. It has also been described as a “whooshing” sound, as of wind or waves.
Tinnitus can be intermittent, pulsating or it can be continuous. In the each case the sound can create distress in the sufferer.
