Tinnitus symptoms include hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whistling sounds in the ears without an external cause.
Symptoms of tinnitus primarily manifest as hearing sounds like ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whistling in the ears, not caused by an external stimulus. These noises can vary in pitch, may be present in one or both ears, and can either be constant or intermittent. Some individuals may also experience difficulty concentrating or sleeping due to the persistent nature of these sounds. The intensity and impact of tinnitus on daily life can vary widely among individuals, influencing their overall well-being and ability to perform daily activities.
Diagnosing tinnitus involves a comprehensive approach that includes evaluating medical history, performing physical examinations, and conducting various tests to assess hearing and identify any underlying conditions. Initially, the doctor discusses the patient’s symptoms, which can include sounds such as ringing, buzzing, roaring, clicking, or hissing, and gathers information about the duration and intensity of these sounds, as well as any factors that might exacerbate or alleviate them. The discussion also covers potential exposure to loud noises, ear infections, medications, and overall health history
