Tinnitus, often referred to as “Ringing In Your Ears,” is the term used to describe the condition of having ringing, buzzing, or noise in the ear or originating from the head.

An estimated 14% of adults ages 45 to 64 and 24% of those 65 and older experience tinnitus. Many different things can cause tinnitus, although people with Tinnitus usually experience this as a common cause. The treatment will depend on the condition that is causing it, the severity, and any accompanying issues such as hearing loss.

Common causes of tinnitus include:

• Stress

• Hearing Loss

• Exposure to loud noises

• Earwax buildup or blockages

• Abnormal bone growth in the ear

• Meniere's disease

• Head or neck injuries

• Benign tumor of the cranial nerve
