TINNITUS AND OTHER INNER EAR DISEASES

Tinnitus, hyperacusis, hearing loss and Meniere’s disease: all these terms describe different hearing impairments that often occur in combination and can be an enormous burden for patients. Tinnitus refers to the perception of sounds such as ringing, hissing or whistling in the ear without the presence of an external sound source. In hyperacusis, there is hypersensitivity to sounds that are perceived as normal in other people. Hearing loss can have various causes and manifest itself in varying degrees of severity. Meniere’s disease is a specific disorder of the inner ear that manifests itself through symptoms such as dizziness, hearing loss and tinnitus. Particularly in the case of tinnitus, other symptoms and diseases (comorbidities) may be added, such as stress, depression or anxiety.
