What does tinnitus feel like?

Tinnitus is a kind of noise that people feel subjectively without external sound stimulation. Tinnitus is an illusion that occurs in the auditory system. This is a common symptom. Normal people also have tinnitus under special circumstances, such as covering their ears with their hands, or touching a pillow when lying on their side, they may feel a buzzing sound, and tinnitus will disappear as soon as they let go and turn over.

This is medically called physiological tinnitus, which is a normal phenomenon. However, if tinnitus persists in the general living environment and even affects mood, work and study, it is necessary to ask a specialist to carry out the necessary examination.

The popular view in the world is that tinnitus can be cured even if it is adapted. The so-called "acclimatization therapy". As the name implies, it is to adapt to or get used to tinnitus and treat tinnitus as a friend, not an enemy, so that it will not affect people's normal life.
