What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is hearing noises in one or both ears, without an external source of the noise. While one of the most commonly reported sounds is ringing, it can present as a variety of other noises including: buzzing, clicking, humming, roaring, pulsing, or hissing.2 Tinnitus can range from a mild nuisance to debilitating, depending on its frequency and severity, It can also cause a variety of physical and cognitive issues including: fatigue, sleep problems, memory issues, headaches, anxiety, depression, and more
One of the most common reasons for tinnitus is damage to the sensitive hair cells in the inner ear. These cells move when sound waves pass through the ear and trigger electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. When these cells become damaged due to age or repeated exposure to loud sounds, they can misfire — causing the brain to perceive sounds without an external source.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Tinnitus can have multiple causes, from loud noise exposure to earwax buildup, but one common cause for persistent tinnitus is age-related damage to the auditory system3.
As we age, the number of functioning nerve fibers in the ears declines. The brain attempts to fill in the gaps, which can result in the persistent sounds heard in tinnitus. This same deterioration of nerve fibers can also result in hearing loss, which is why addressing hearing loss is often a key part of tinnitus treatment.
