Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a very common condition among people of all ages. The severity of tinnitus varies between individuals. Some people may hear the sound very loud and almost constantly while others have only mild symptoms.
Tinnitus is not a disease. It is only a symptom of some other disorder in a human system. It is rather common that tinnitus comes along with hearing loss.
So, what exactly is tinnitus? Tinnitus symptoms have been described as a ringing, hissing, buzzing, or even roaring sound heard emanating from the ear drum. Over 20 million Americans suffer from tinnitus each year in one or both ears.
