TINNITUS What is it exactly? Derived from the Latin word for "ringing" tinnitus refers to the phenomenon of perceiving sounds within the ear that have no external source. While most people experience moments or brief periods of hearing inging in their ears after extended exposure to a noisy environment or following a sudden, extremely loud sound, some people experience the condition on a more ongoing basis. This is tinnitus. While most people think of tinnitus as ringing in the ears, the sound can actually take on many forms.
