Before you can hope to find methods to treat tinnitus is advisable to understand what tinnitus is. You will be in a much better position to relieve the tinnitus symptoms once you have a good understanding of the condition.

There is no point in simply living with it like many people do simply because you do not know what it really is.

By definition, tinnitus is a noise that originates in the ear instead of from the outside environment. Sometimes the noise may be generated inside the ear and is audible to a doctor or someone standing close to the person. In the majority of cases however only the person experiencing tinnitus will be able to hear the noises.

Tinnitus is often experienced in both ears but can also only be present in one ear sometimes. Whilst tinnitus is almost known as a ringing in the ears, there can be many other noises heard as well:
• Humming
• Bee like Buzzing Sounds
• Hissing
• Roaring Sounds
• Ringing and more

It is not uncommon to hear a

blending of the noise listed abive

Be aware that there are many different types of tinnitus. Don’t believe that all tinnitus is the same and that there is no relief to be had.

Please check out below for a brief discussion on the different tinnitus categories:

Tonal tinnitus- With tonal tinnitus you experience the same sound continuously Most people will refer to this tinnitus type as "ear ringing".
Pulsatile tinnitus- this type is intermittent and often takes on a beat with the heartbeat or pulse of the person.

Subjective tinnitus- this is where only the patient can hear the noises.

There are also some less common types of tinnitus in which multiple sounds are heard at once, or when the sounds are described as more of a beeping like Morse code.

Anyone of the noises or symptoms discussed point to your having tinnitus. It’s this type of close-minded thinking that holds people back in finding the treatment they need and deserve.
