Tinnitus FAQs: Your Comprehensive Guide

---

Tinnitus is the medical term for the perception of sound—such as ringing, buzzing, roaring, or hissing—without an external source.  It is a symptom of an underlying condition, commonly hearing loss, ear  injury, or circulatory system issues. Affecting 10-25% of adults, it is  usually harmless, but can be chronic.
