Tinnitus = Ringing in the Ears
About one million people in Germany have tinnitus. Those particularly affected are people whose hearing has been damaged by noise or those who are stressed. The tinnitus sound can be a hissing, ringing or whistling sound. The tinnitus sound is triggered by damage to the sensory cell and the nerve tract. For this reason the tinnitus noise can only be heard by the affected person.
