Tinnitus

“Tinnitus is the perception of noises in the head and/or ear which have no external source.”

British Tinnitus Association, 2019

Tinnitus is an umbrella term for perceiving sounds in the ears or head that only you can hear. It can be described as a multitude of sounds including ringing, buzzing, humming, hissing and even pulsing. The sensation can be constant or intermittent and it can vary in volume and intensity.

Tinnitus can be related to underlying health conditions or commonly triggered by specific events such as, trauma, stress, illness, bereavement or noise exposure. Hearing loss is often another common reason for suddenly becoming aware of your Tinnitus. Many people live comfortably with the condition, however Tinnitus can become intrusive and all consuming.
