Are you or someone you know suffering from tinnitus? You're not alone. Tinnitus affects millions of people worldwide, including countless veterans for whom it is the number one service-related disability.

Tinnitus is the continuous sensation of ringing or other noise in the ears (for example, buzzing, roaring or humming) when no outside noise is present. This irritating condition is commonly caused by noise exposure, age-related hearing loss, medications, earwax or an ear infection, and other ailments.

Currently, there is no cure for tinnitus, but there is treatment available, such as hearing aids, that can help to relieve symptoms.
