If you experience a constant ringing in your ears that is not caused by an external source, you are not alone. Millions of Americans share in your struggle. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 50 million Americans experience some form of tinnitus and that roughly 20 million people struggle with chronic tinnitus. These statistics make tinnitus one of the most common health conditions in the country.
In general, there are two types of tinnitus:
Subjective tinnitus, which is the most common and makes up 99 percent of all reported tinnitus cases, refers to head or ear noises that are perceived only by the patient.
Objective tinnitus involves noise from the body’s vascular flow, which causes a pulsating sound that synchronizes with the patient’s pulse. Sometimes, the tinnitus is so loud it can be heard by others.
