Tinnitus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Tinnitus is the perception of a sound —such as a buzzing, ringing, or whistling— in one or both ears without an external source producing it. It can be occasional or persistent and vary in intensity.
Common symptoms: in addition to the continuous or intermittent sound, some people report that it becomes more pronounced in quiet environments or that it is accompanied by some difficulty concentrating or resting.
Common causes: it is associated with multiple factors, such as exposure to loud noises, hearing-related changes, and ear abnormalities, so its investigation is individual.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist evaluates hearing and the structures of the ear to provide guidance on the origin of the tinnitus. If the ringing is bothersome or constant, it is worth consulting to understand its cause.
