Why Do I Hear Ringing In My Ears? It Could Be Tinnitus.
What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is present. People often describe it as ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming, clicking, or roaring in one ear, both ears, or “in the head.” Tinnitus is a symptom—not a disease—and it can range from mildly noticeable to disruptive, especially in quiet environments or at bedtime.
Tinnitus is common, and for many people it’s temporary. For others, it can be persistent and affect sleep, concentration, mood, and overall quality of life. The good news: while tinnitus isn’t “curable,” there are proven treatments to manage it, and many patients experience meaningful relief with the right plan and support.
What Does Tinnitus Sound Like?
Tinnitus can sound different from person to person.
Common descriptions include:
– Ringing or high-pitched tone
– Buzzing or electrical sound
– Hissing
– Pulsing or “whooshing” (sometimes in rhythm with your heartbeat)
– Clicking or intermittent tones
