What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head when no external sound is present. It is often described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or humming.
Tinnitus is very common and can vary from mild and occasional to more persistent and bothersome. While it is not a condition itself, it is usually a sign of an underlying issue within the auditory system.
