About Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a sound or noise perceived in the ears in absence of external sound stimulation. It can be present in a single ear, in both, or in the head.
As hyperacusis, tinnitus is not considered a disease, but a symptom of an underlying problem.
Tinnitus can take the form of humming, whistles, hissing, roaring, strumming sounds, as well as wind or sea roaring, waterfalls, engines, unintelligible human voices, telephone line tone, indefinite noise (like white noise), etc.
Tinnitus can arise suddenly or gradually, and when it reaches a very high level can become quite intrusive to the sufferers daily life.
When tiinnitus is associated to hyperacusis, its severity is related to that of hypersensibility. That means, if a relief is experienced in hyperacusis, a relief is also experienced in tinnitus.
