Tinnitus is thought to affect 50
million Americans. It usually occurs after the age of 50 years, but
children and adolescents can experience it, too. Common causes are
excessive or cumulative noise exposure, head and neck injuries, and ear
infections. It can occasionally indicate a serious underlying medical
condition. There is no cure for tinnitus, but there are ways of managing it.
Most people with chronic tinnitus adjust to the ringing over time, but 1 in 5
will find it disturbing or debilitating.
