IMAGINE no more ringing in your ears.

IMAGINE sleeping properly.

IMAGINE how different your life would be.



Tinnitus is hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming or other sounds in your ears when no such external physical noise is present. In other words, only the person suffering from tinnitus can hear those noises and no one else can. Tinnitus is not a disease. It is a symptom of a fault in the auditory system, which includes the ears and the brain. The word ‘tinnitus’ is Latin in origin and means ‘tinkling or ringing like a bell’.

HOW COMMON IS IT?

Tinnitus is a common condition which affects millions of people worldwide. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), almost 12 percent of men who are 65 to 74 years of age are affected by tinnitus. Tinnitus is identified more frequently in white individuals, and the prevalence of tinnitus in the U.S. is almost twice as frequent in the South as in the Northeast.

Most people have an occasional episode of tinnitus after going to a loud concert or disco. For most people, this is temporary and soon goes. As many as 1 in 10 people have persistent tinnitus that is mild and not very troublesome. However, about 1 in 100 people have tinnitus which persists most of the time, and severely affects their quality of life. Psychological factors may have a role to play. For example, mild tinnitus that is not bothersome may become more bothersome if you become depressed, anxious or stressed.

SYMPTOMS


There are a few basic symptoms of tinnitus which are important to watch for.

  • Ringing

  • Buzzing

  • Whistling

  • Roaring

  • Crickets

  • Humming

  • Partial hearing loss

Sometimes the noise pulsates at the same rate as your pulse. Tinnitus can be either constant or ‘come and go’. It can vary in loudness and character from time to time. You can hear the noise or noises in one ear, in both ears, or it may be difficult to pinpoint where the noise seems to come from.

The noise is often more prominent when you are in a quiet place, such as when you are trying to get to sleep. This is because there is less background noise to distract you from the sounds of tinnitus. The symptom may also be more noticeable when you are tired.

CAUSES


Tinnitus can be caused by a number of things:

  • Prolonged exposure to loud noise.

  • Extreme stress or trauma.

  • Head injuries or partial ear blockage.

  • Hearing degeneration – a side effect of advancing age.

  • Bacterial infections.

  • Ménière’s disease – This is a condition where you develop attacks of vertigo (dizziness), hearing loss and tinnitus. It is due to a problem of the cochlea (in the inner ear).

  • As an uncommon side-effect to some medicines.

  • An ear infection – The tinnitus tends to clear when the infection clears.

Many tinnitus sufferers believe there is nothing that can be done to help them and put up with this frustrating and stressful condition.

THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE.
