What Is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound source is present. It can manifest as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other noises. Tinnitus can be intermittent or chronic and may vary in intensity. It can affect one or both ears and can have various causes, including exposure to loud noise, age-related hearing loss, or underlying medical conditions.
