what is tinnitus?
PureTone
auDImeD
TInnITus sYsTems
From the Latin for 'ringing', tinnitus can best be defined as the conscious experience of noise with no apparent external source. The nature and intensity of tinnitus varies greatly
from one sufferer to another, with the most commonly reported sounds being ringing and/or high-pitched whistling. These noises may be heard all day or for brief periods at a
time, can be noise-induced or due to no apparent root cause, and can be seen by the sufferer as a mild annoyance or a severely debilitating condition. These huge variances
from case to case make the condition difficult to treat, but contrary to popular myth, help is available.
