What Causes Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom of damage in the auditory system or a bodily issue. Exposure to loud noise, age-related hearing loss, narrowing of neck vessels, and even intense stress can lead to ringing in the ears.
How to Cope?
If there is a concrete underlying cause (like earwax or infection), treatment is easy. For neurological tinnitus, while there is no magic pill, masking therapies (white noise), TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy), and specific medication protocols can significantly improve the patient's quality of life by reducing the perception of the sound.
