Tinnitus is characterized by the perception of noise or ringing in the ears when no external sound is present. This condition is not a disease but a symptom, indicating an underlying issue in the auditory system. The causes are diverse, ranging from exposure to loud noise and age-related hearing loss to earwax blockage and changes in ear bones. Globally, millions report some form of tinnitus, making it a prevalent yet personal experience.
