What Happens If a Ringing Ear Is Left Untreated?
Tinnitus is when your ears hear sounds that aren’t really there, like ringing, buzzing, or whooshing. It’s very common and happens to a lot of people. More than 50 million people in the U.S. have it.
Tinnitus itself isn’t a disease, but it can be a sign that something else is wrong with your health.
For most people, tinnitus isn’t dangerous. However, if left untreated, it could point to bigger problems like hearing loss or heart issues.
