What Is Misophonia?
8. Tinnitus
Tinnitus is a condition where the patient experiences a ringing sound in their ears. It is closely associated with misophonia. Tinnitus is the result of an underlying cause, such as the patient losing their hearing as they get older. It is not a serious condition in itself although it can be discomforting.
Tinnitus can be subjective, meaning only the patient can hear it. It can also be objective, meaning other people can hear it on close examination. Sometimes, tinnitus has an underlying cause that can be treated. At others, tinnitus retraining therapy can help the patient to tolerate the noise better.
