Noise in the ears, also known as tinnitus, is a symptom in which a person hears a sound in their ears without an external source. It can range from a low, buzzing sound to a loud, high-pitched ringing. It can occur suddenly or gradually, and can be constant or intermittent. Tinnitus can be caused by a variety of factors, such as damage to the ear, wax buildup, infection, or exposure to loud noises. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can affect one or both ears. Treatment options vary depending on the cause, but may include hearing aids, sound therapy, medications, or surgery.
