Tinnitus (ti·nuh·tuhs) is the perception of sound—such as ringing, buzzing, or hissing—without an external source. It affects millions of people worldwide and can significantly impact quality of life. Many individuals with tinnitus experience frustration, difficulty concentrating, anxiety, or trouble sleeping.
