Understanding tinnitus in a few words
Tinnitus refers to the perception of a sound—buzzing, whistling, or rustling—that has no real source in the environment. Only you hear it. This sound can affect one or both ears, appear intermittently, or become permanent. Discreet on some evenings, it can become frankly annoying during the day. It is not a disease per se, but rather a signal that your body is trying to convey to you.
