Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing a sound when there is no external source for that sound.
Tinnitus comes in many forms, but is often described as a high pitch whistling, ringing, buzzing or pulsing, like a heartbeat.
It may be in one ear, both ears or in the head. It can be there all of the time or can come and go.
Tinnitus is unlikely to be caused by a serious underlying condition. However, if you are bothered by your tinnitus and it is interfering with everyday activities, then seeking advice from a professional can help.
Tinnitus is not a disease or an illness itself, but it is a symptom of something else. In some cases it can be caused by ear problems such as a build-up of earwax or ear infections. In these cases, simply removing the earwax or treating the ear infection with medication, can make the tinnitus stop. However, tinnitus can also be a symptom of other conditions such as hearing loss or poorly managed mental health conditions.
