Tinnitus patients vary in their level of hearing such sounds. Some only hear the noise in the background, as bit quiet but still there. Others though hear the noise very loudly, even to the point of other noises not being heard anymore. This in a way is a hearing loss. In cities and countries that are industrialized, tinnitus is very common. Objective tests are not really that effective in measuring or assessing the levels of tinnitus. This is because it has always been looked at as a phenomenon that is subjective. Because of this tinnitus treatments are not that well defined either. Intensity and frequency of this disorder is often difficult to ascertain. That is why diagnosis is usually in the range of “catastrophic” and “slight.” Tinnitus can greatly affect a person’s life because daily activities such as sleeping and of course conversations can sorely suffer.
