Tinnitus: The Sounds Only You Can Hear Imagine experiencing sounds like ringing, buzzing, or hissing when there's no external source for them. This is what it's like to have tinnitus, a common condition where a person perceives sound that originates from within the body. While often linked to hearing, tinnitus is understood as a symptom, not a disease in itself. For millions of people, tinnitus can be a persistent and bothersome presence.

Scientists are continuing to research this fascinating and sometimes challenging phenomenon to better understand its causes and impact.
