Tinnitus ringing in the ears, occurs when a constant sound seems to originate in your ear or head. Tinnitus could present itself as ringing, crickets, roaring, buzzing, hissing, or something else along those lines. People often report that their symptoms sound louder when the environment is quieter (e.g., when getting ready for bed at night). While the cause of an individual’s tinnitus is sometimes unknown, tinnitus is most often related to high-pitched hearing loss. However, it can also occur without any hearing loss at all. In fact, approximately 10% of people with normal hearing experience tinnitus. Occasional, short-lasting ringing is normal, but if tinnitus occurs frequently or continuously, or if it occurs in only one ear, a consultation with a hearing healthcare professional is warranted.
