Tinnitus treatment – does it work?

You might need to think about tinnitus treatment if you are able to hear sounds that are not coming from an outside source. These internal noises, heard only by you, can range from ringing, buzzing, whistling, humming, right up to loud roaring noises. Some people also experience musical hallucinations. The sound may be constant or variable, in one or both ears or from an undeterminable place in your head.
