Tinnitus





What Is It...?

You might have Tinnitus if...you hear a ringing, roaring, clicking or hissing sound in your ears? Do you hear this sound often or all the time? Does the sound bother you?

Millions of people in the U.S. have it. People with severe cases may have trouble hearing, working or even sleeping.

Causes include:

  • hearing loss
  • exposure to loud noises
  • or medicines you may be taking for a different problem

It may also be a symptom of other health problems, such as:
  • allergies
  • high or low blood pressure
  • tumors
  • and problems in the heart, blood vessels, jaw and neck

Treatment depends on the cause. Treatments may include:
  • hearing aids
  • sound-masking devices
  • medicines
  • and ways to learn how to cope with the noise
