What is the ringing in my ears?
If you hear ringing, whistling, chirping, hissing, or clicking in your ears, you probably have a condition known as tinnitus. It can occur periodically or constantly in one or both ears. Tinnitus results from noise damage to the ear or from age-related hearing loss. According to the American Tinnitus Association, approximately 50 million Americans experience some degree of tinnitus, and 12 million of these suffer from severe cases. Tinnitus cannot be cured; however, hearing aids and other treatments can help individuals deal with this condition. If you experience constant ringing in your ears, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with an audiologist at our practice.
