What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is the experience of hearing sounds ringing, buzzing, or hissing — without an external source. It’s often the brain’s response to hearing loss or stress. For some, it’s mild. For others, it can be life-altering.
But here’s a key truth: tinnitus is not the actual problem — it’s a symptom. And once you understand the why, you can begin your journey toward relief.
Types of Tinnitus
Understanding your type of tinnitus can point you toward the right support options:
Subjective Tinnitus
Only you hear it (most common)
Pulsatile Tinnitus
Matches your heartbeat, often vascular
Somatic Tinnitus
Tied to neck, jaw, or body tension
Neurological Tinnitus
Related to brain function or disorders
Possible Causes
Tinnitus often arises from:
Hearing loss
Noise exposure
Infections or earwax
Medication side effects
TMJ or neck tension
Consulting an audiologist or ENT can help identify the cause and rule out underlying conditions.
