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.
