What Is Tinnitus?

When a ringing sound starts in your ear for no apparent reason and no one

else seems to hear it, it can be

disconcerting.

Tinnitus, is a noise that originates

within the ear rather than from the

outside environment.

The sound itself is different for each

person and is often described as a

buzzing, ringing, humming or hissing

sound.

There are two different types of

tinnitus.

Subjective tinnitus is a sound only you can

hear.

Objective tinnitus, on the other hand, is ear noise that is loud enough to be audible

to other people.

Tonal tinnitus produces a

continuous, usually high-pitched

sound, as if a single note on the piano continues to play without stopping.

Pulsatile tinnitus is generally heard in an “on-off” pattern that

often follows the heartbeat.

If you have ringing in the ears, schedule an appointment with your hearing healthcare provider to learn

what you might be able to do to alleviate or reduce the annoying

sounds of tinnitus.
