What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus: tin-night’-is or tin’-it-is (either pronunciation is correct)\ n. [L., tinnire to ring]: the perception of ringing, hissing, or other sound in the ears or head when no external sound is present.

Tinnitus is the medical term to describe noises heard in the ears or head. These sounds have no external source (although to the sufferer they do). Tinnitus symptons can be persitent, even chronic. It can be annoying, frightenting, depressing and debilitating. For others it is simply a nuisance. Sometimes tinnitus noise beats in time with your pulse – this is known as pulsatile tinnitus.

Tinnitus is not a disease, nor is it life-threatening, it can happen at any age and is rarely linked to any serious problem. Sufferers usually learn to manage it quite successfully.

You are not alone

Recent research from the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) has shown:

• 25% of the UK population have experienced tinnitus at some stage in their lives
• 6% of the UK population suffer moderate to severe tinnitus
• 8% consult their GP
• 2 – 4% of individuals will proceed to a hospital visit

However, fewer than 20% of those referred to a specialist have been offered access to treatment.
