What is tinnitus?

Also known as: ringing in the ears

If you experience a ringing, buzzing or another persistent sound that impacts your hearing and isn’t actually present, this might be due to tinnitus. Tinnitus may be self-inflicted due to loud noise exposure, or it may occur as a symptom of other medical conditions.
