Ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, is a common condition where individuals perceive sounds that are not present in the environment. These sounds can vary in pitch and may be described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking. Tinnitus can be temporary or chronic and is often associated with exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or age-related hearing loss. The exact cause of tinnitus is not fully understood, but it is believed to result from changes in the auditory system. It can affect anyone, but it is more prevalent in older adults. While there is no cure, various management strategies, such as sound therapy and counseling, can help alleviate the symptoms.
