Humming, buzzing, whistling, or hissing inside your head? Almost everyone’s experienced some type of ear noise. They start suddenly, then continue uninterrupted or reoccur at certain intervals, and are extremely unpleasant. Most of the time, these sounds disappear as quickly as they arrive. But when they don’t, doctors call that tinnitus.
Causes
Common causes of tinnitus include head and neck injuries, prolonged exposure to loud noises, and ear infections. There are now around 400 known conditions that can trigger these continuous, irritating noises in your ears.
Most people with tinnitus primarily suffer from the constant stress and mental strain that the condition can cause. This is because each acoustic signal our ears receive is processed and decoded by our auditory canals and our brains: Where is the noise coming from? How loud is it? Is it a spoken word? And, if so, what does it mean?
Even though we can’t close our ears the way we can close our eyes, our brain stems are capable of subconsciously filtering out individual signals it classifies as meaningless. This is why, for example, parents are able to hear their children crying at night, but rattling doors do not wake them up.
