Tinnitus is a widespread condition that affects an estimated 50 million Americans. Some people describe it as a hissing, roaring, whooshing, ringing or buzzing sound. It may be sporadic or constant, and is a symptom of an underlying condition rather than a disease itself. Although bothersome, tinnitus usually isn’t a sign of something serious. Although it can worsen with time, for many people, tinnitus can improve with treatment. Treating an identified underlying cause sometimes helps. Other treatments reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
