Tinnitus is the perception of sound (such as ringing, buzzing, or humming) in one or both ears with no external source. It’s common and can range from a mild nuisance to a distressing symptom that affects sleep, concentration, or wellbeing.

Common Causes:

  • Hearing loss

  • Noise exposure

  • Ear infections or wax build-up

  • Jaw or neck tension

  • Stress or anxiety

  • Rarely, inner ear or neurological conditions

Assessment & Treatment:
I offer a full ENT evaluation, including hearing tests and examination of the ears and auditory pathways. Treatment depends on the cause and may include hearing support, sound therapy, or referral to a specialist tinnitus clinic.

Persistent or one-sided tinnitus should always be checked.
