Tinnitus is the perception of Ringing, whistling, humming, or pulsing in the ears or head. When no external noise is present, it may result from extended exposure to loud noises, ear infections, earwax buildup, age-related hearing loss, or certain medical conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Tinnitus can be temporary or chronic and varies in intensity. While it isn't a disease itself, it can severely affect well-being, causing problems with sleep, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating.
