Poor Concentration
Poor concentration levels are commonly associated with tinnitus. The constant ringing or noise in the ears can be overwhelming, making it extremely difficult to concentrate. In addition, the noise cannot be filtered out in the same way an external source can be because it's internal.
Tinnitus provides a distraction from tasks that require concentration. Although it doesn't make it difficult to hear, it can indirectly affect hearing by making it hard to focus on an external sound source.6‘The Consequences of Tinnitus and Tinnitus Severity on Cognition: A Review of the Behavioural Evidence.’ ScienceDirect.com | Science, Health and Medical Journals, Full Text Articles and Books, www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378595515300551
