Tinnitus
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Tinnitus is the perception of sounds such as buzzing, ringing, or whistling in the ears or head without an external source producing them. It can be temporary or persistent and, in many cases, is related to the health of the ear and hearing.
Common causes: It is usually associated with exposure to intense noises, buildup of earwax, ear infections, or changes in hearing typical of different stages of life.
When is it advisable to have it checked? If the ringing becomes constant, is accompanied by dizziness, pain, or decreased hearing, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the appropriate professional to study tinnitus and rule out treatable causes in the ear. Going to a visit allows you to understand the origin of the symptom and clear up the questions it raises.
