For some people, the sound is soft and occasional. For others, it can be constant or loud enough to interfere with sleep, focus, or daily life. It may come and go, or stay for long periods without stopping.
Tinnitus itself is not adisease.It’s usually a symptom of something else affecting the hearing system, such as the inner ear, auditory nerve, or how the brain processes sound.
One of the most common causes is hearing loss, often related to aging or repeated exposure to loud noise. Even a single loud event, like a concert, can trigger temporary ringing.
