Tinnitus: why these noises appear and how to learn to deal with them

Where do these inner sounds come from?
There are several possible causes for these phantom noises, and some are particularly common.

Exposure to loud sounds is one of the first causes identified. Festivals, headphones turned up to the max, noisy workshops... The fragile cells of the inner ear are directly affected by this.

The natural aging process also comes into play. Over time, hearing changes and the brain, lacking certain sound information, can generate it on its own. This is commonly known as ghost sound.
