Ears & Hearing

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is present, commonly described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or humming in the ears. It is not a disease itself but a symptom of an underlying condition such as hearing loss, ear injury, or circulatory problems. While often not serious, chronic tinnitus can significantly impact sleep, concentration, and mental health.

Vertigo

Vertigo is a sensation of spinning dizziness that feels like the room is moving around you. It is usually caused by inner ear problems, with BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) being the most common cause. Episodes can last seconds to days and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and balance problems. Most forms of vertigo are treatable with repositioning maneuvers or medication.
