Understanding Tinnitus

What is tinnitus?

Tinnitus is the perception of sound — ringing, buzzing, hissing, or clicking — in the absence of an external source. It affects approximately 10–15% of adults and can range from mildly annoying to severely debilitating.

While tinnitus itself is a symptom rather than a disease, it is often linked to hearing loss, noise exposure, or other conditions. An audiological assessment is the essential first step.

Common symptoms
Ringing or buzzing in ears
Hissing or whistling sounds
Clicking or pulsing sounds
Sound only you can hear
Worse in quiet environments
Difficulty sleeping
Concentration problems
Anxiety or distress from sound
Treatment Options

Evidence-based approaches

First line
Sound Therapy

Uses external sounds (white noise, nature sounds, notched music) to partially mask or distract the brain from tinnitus signals. Delivered via a dedicated sound generator or hearing aids with built-in tinnitus programmes.

Outcomes
Reduces perceived loudness
Improves sleep quality
Effective for 60–70% of patients
Gold standard
Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT)

A structured programme combining sound therapy with directive counselling. Aims to habituate the brain to the tinnitus signal so it is no longer perceived as threatening — and eventually becomes background noise.

Outcomes
Long-term habituation
Reduces emotional distress
18–24 month programme
Device-based
Hearing Aids with Tinnitus Features

For patients with co-existing hearing loss (most tinnitus patients), modern hearing aids amplify real sounds and simultaneously play masking sounds. Brands like Signia and Widex have dedicated tinnitus programmes.

Outcomes
Addresses underlying hearing loss
Built-in masking sounds
Daily wearable solution
Common Causes

What triggers tinnitus?

Noise exposure
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds — concerts, machinery, earphones at high volume — is the most common cause.
Age-related loss
As hearing deteriorates with age, the brain may compensate by generating its own sounds.
Medication
Certain antibiotics, diuretics, and high doses of aspirin can trigger or worsen tinnitus.
Stress & anxiety
Psychological stress does not cause tinnitus but significantly worsens the perceived severity.
