๐ Tinnitus: MYTHS vs FACTS ๐
โ MYTH: Tinnitus is a disease
โ
FACT: Tinnitus is a symptom, not a condition itself. Itโs a sign that something is affecting the hearing system.
โ MYTH: Thereโs nothing that can be done
โ
FACT: While thereโs no guaranteed cure, many people can manage tinnitus successfully with the right advice and support.
โ MYTH: Ear wax causes tinnitus
โ
FACT: Wax doesnโt cause tinnitus, but a build-up can make it feel worse by blocking sound and increasing awareness of internal noise.
โ MYTH: Removing wax will cure tinnitus
โ
FACT: Wax removal may improve symptoms, but it will not cure tinnitus if there are other underlying causes.
โ MYTH: Tinnitus always means something serious
โ
FACT: Tinnitus is very common and often linked to hearing loss, stress, noise exposure, or ear pressure issues.
