Tinnitus can begin unexpectedly, experienced as a persistent ringing sound in the ears. It is classified into subjective, objective, and somatic types, with subjective tinnitus being a perception of sound without external source. Damage to cochlea hairs due to loud noises is a theory for its cause, leading to the brain generating phantom sounds. Many people, including musicians and concert-goers, develop tinnitus, but the underlying reasons remain largely unclear.
Tinnitus often appears out of nowhere, experienced as a ringing in the ears, described as similar to the sound of static or ocean roars.
The condition can be divided into subjective tinnitus, objective tinnitus, and somatic tinnitus, with subjective tinnitus being the perception of sound where there is none.
Loud sounds may damage the cochlea hairs, leading to a constant illusory sound that the brain perceives as tinnitus.
Many individuals with tinnitus, like me, can often trace its onset to experiences of loud music, yet little is understood about its causes.
