Imagine not being able to switch off or walk away from a really persistent irritating noise such as a buzz, a ringing sound, or whistling and whooshing sounds. Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external auditory source. Many of us can experience mild tinnitus from time to time in quiet moments. Many people can even put up with mild tinnitus but for some tinnitus goes beyond being a nuisance to being very unpleasant with a devastating impact on their quality of life.
