Tinnitus is the experience of hearing sound in your ears or head when no external sound is present. You might hear ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring, or other noises that come and go or stay constant. Tinnitus itself is not a disease—it's a symptom that can result from many different causes, ranging from exposure to loud noise and ear infections to age-related hearing loss and certain medications. Understanding what's happening in your ear and why you're experiencing these sounds is the first step toward managing them.

The articles here explain how doctors identify tinnitus, what conditions commonly cause it, and what treatment options exist. You'll learn about the connection between tinnitus and hearing loss, how to describe your symptoms to a healthcare provider, and what strategies may help reduce the impact on your daily life.
