Tinnitus is often described as the perception of noise
independent of any external source of sound. With
subjective tinnitus, the individual is the only person able to
perceive the noise, which may present as hissing, buzzing,
or ringing. In such cases, noise can be perceived in one
or both ears, as coming from inside the head, or located
around the head with no direction apparent.
In other cases, noise may seem to originate from within
the individual’s body; this is a rare condition known as
objective tinnitus and is usually prompted by a vascular
disorder or spasmodic muscle movement. Tinnitus caused
as somatic tinnitus.
According to the American
Speech-Language-Hearing
Association, primary tinnitus
may present with hearing
cause. Secondary tinnitus
has a known and diagnosed
cause. Pulsatile tinnitus is
generally recognized as a
noise that is rhythmic like a
heartbeat.
Some individuals experience tinnitus seldom enough or at
such a low level that it can be classed as “no bothersome”,
in which case tinnitus has only a small impact on quality of
life. In other cases, tinnitus may classed as “bothersome”,
to quality of life.
In general, there is no cure for tinnitus, but those who have
“bothersome” tinnitus in addition to hearing loss can often
external sound stimuli, such as a metronome, white noise,
or music delivered through wearable or non-wearable
devices.
An audiologist or hearing aid specialist can help diagnose
and make recommendations for the mitigation of tinnitus
those who present both with tinnitus and hearing loss, to
help provide clearer hearing of real noise and dampen
down the effects of perceived noise.
