Understanding Tinnitus and its Impact

Tinnitus is a condition characterized by perceiving internal noises like buzzing, whistling, or ringing in the ears without an external source. It is often linked to hearing loss or exposure to loud noises, affecting around 14% of the population. The constant stream of electrical signals sent from the ear to the brain may get disrupted, leading to the perception of sound. While tinnitus doesn't necessarily correlate with its loudness and severity, it can significantly impact daily life, mental health, and sleep quality.
