It is often described as ringing, hissing, humming, buzzing, crickets chirping or tonal sounds. The perceived noise(s) may be occasional, intermittent or constant and vary in sound quality and intensity. For some people, these persistent symptoms significantly impact their quality of life. Side effects can include fatigue, depression, anxiety, irritability and memory\/concentration problems.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"patients-with-tinnitus-should-be-referred-for-a-hearing-evaluation\">Patients with tinnitus should be referred for a hearing evaluation.<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The good news is that there are management options.
