Hearing Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of sound, such as ringing, buzzing, humming, or hissing, in the ears or head when there is no external sound source. It may occur temporarily or persist for a longer period and can be associated with hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, ear-related conditions, or other factors. Audiological assessment helps identify possible causes and determine whether hearing loss is present. Management may include hearing aids when appropriate, sound therapy, counselling, relaxation techniques, and strategies to improve sleep and concentration. Tinnitus counselling helps individuals understand their symptoms, reduce distress, and develop effective coping methods. If tinnitus is persistent, bothersome, or accompanied by sudden hearing loss, dizziness, or other concerning symptoms, professional medical evaluation is important
