People with tinnitus hear noises in their ears. Each person with tinnitus experiences it differently. Tinnitus is from the Latin word for ringing, and to some people the noise does indeed sound like ringing. Others describe their ear noise as roaring, rushing, hissing, chirping, beeping, buzzing, whistling, or clicking. The sound might be high-pitched, low-pitched, or multi-toned, or it might sound like static.
Tinnitus, frequently described as a ringing, whooshing, roaring or hissing sound in the ear, is a symptom often associated with migraine disease. Tinnitus is experienced by patients with migraine with aura and migraine without aura, but how many migraine patients are affected is not clear at this time. We do know that among patients with basilar-type migraine, about 1/4 to 2/3 are affected by tinnitus.
