Anyone that has encountered signs of tinnitus will know that the condition can be very irritating. Severe cases can even feel debilitating, forcing you to stay in bed due to problems with your balance and hearing.

Loud noise is one of the greatest threats to the health of your ears and your hearing. Prolonged exposure to loud noise or even just one, sudden loud noise can damage your hearing forever. Tinnitus is another consequence of damage to your ears, and can go hand in hand with hearing loss.

It is important to know that tinnitus can impact every person differently. Generally speaking, you may find that you hear a ringing, whooshing or buzzing sound that’s not really there. If you have a persistent ringing in your ears, then this can be annoying, not to mention that it can be in the form of a low-pitched roar or a squeal. So, what does it sound like?

Hearing loss affects all age groups worldwide. It has several causes, but the common ones are aging, persistent exposure to loud sounds and medication reactions.

Research has revealed that approximately 15% of American adults experience hearing loss. Even a minor hearing condition can have an impact on various aspects of your life, from relationships and work to your enjoyment of daily activities.
