Tinnitus

Tinnitus suffererTinnitus is the perception of sound (ringing, hissing, whistling, buzzing) in the ears or head when no external sound is present. Tinnitus can be a sign of trauma to the ear caused by listening to sounds that are too loud. For more information on tinnitus, visit The American Tinnitus Association and Noisy Planet.

If you have tinnitus, you should schedule a complete hearing evaluation by an audiologist.
