Types of Tinnitus
Objective versus subjective tinnitus, and underlying causative factors.
Tinnitus is the perception of sound (ringing, buzzing, or hissing) in the ears when no external sound is present. While not a disease itself, it is a symptom of an underlying condition in the auditory system. At Swastik, we offer systematic counseling and sound therapy to help manage and alleviate tinnitus distress.
