Have you ever heard noises that no one else can hear? You are not alone. Buzzing, humming, buzzing, screeching, ringing… there are many different descriptions of the noise that some people hear in their ears or head. Sometimes the symptoms may be temporary and short-lived (for example, after attending a noisy event), but there are cases when tinnitus becomes permanent and seriously impairs the quality of life of people who suffer from it.
