Tinnitus
Tinnitus
Tinnitus, also known as tinnitus, is a very annoying condition where you hear a sound such as ringing or squeaking without an actual source of sound. Not only can this be annoying, but it can also lead to concentration problems and sleep disturbances. Some people hear the sound continuously, for others it is intermittent. Also, the sound varies from person to person.
What do you notice about tinnitus?
The symptoms of tinnitus can vary from person to person and can vary in intensity. Possible experiences include:
- A persistent beeping, buzzing or whistling sound in one or both ears
- Change in intensity of sound depending on your environment or emotional state
- Difficulty concentrating or sleeping due to annoying noises
- Feeling of pressure in the ears or impaired hearing
What causes tinnitus?
The cause of tinnitus is usually hearing loss. However, it can also be caused by stress or muscle tension. This is where the physical therapist can help.
