That Ringing in Your Ears? It Has a Name.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound (like ringing, buzzing, hissing, or whooshing) when no external sound is present. It affects around 1 in 6 New Zealanders and can range from mildly annoying to seriously disruptive.
At Barclay Winter Audiology, we help you understand what’s causing your tinnitus, and more importantly, how to manage it.
What Is Tinnitus?
Common Tinnitus Symptoms
Tinnitus can sound and feel different for everyone. Some people experience it occasionally, while for others, it’s constant. Common symptoms include:
A high-pitched ringing in one or both ears
Buzzing, humming, hissing, or clicking sounds
A pulsing or whooshing noise in sync with your heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus)
Sound that seems to come from inside the head, not an external source
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping due to internal noise
Heightened awareness of sounds in quiet environments
If you’re experiencing any of these, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. A proper assessment is the first step to understanding and managing tinnitus.
