What is tinnitus? Tinnitus is an annoying and distressing condition for more than two million people in the U.K. People with tinnitus hear noises ranging from high-pitched ringing to buzzing, humming, and rushing sounds. The noises happen because the tiny hair cells in the inner ear which send sound messages to the brain have been damaged in some way. They send confusing signals that the brain cannot interpret.

The main factors known to cause tinnitus or worsen it are: noise exposure, certain medication, severe ear infections, head trauma and stress. To enable a sufferer to lessen the severity of tinnitus is to accept the existence of the tinnitus problem and try to live with it by ignoring it. Also to avoid as much as possible the noise exposure and to exercise daily.

Who is affected?

If you ask any random people in the street 90% of them have experienced temporary tinnitus at least once. The other 10% have permanent hissing, buzzing etc tinnitus.
