Before we can even begin to discuss the causes of Tinnitus and how to get rid of it, you must first understand how your hearing works. So, let’s learn more about the workings of the ear…
Although we use our sense of hearing all day, every day, most of us take it for granted until there is a problem. Whether it’s the annoyance of a constantly ringing phone or a sweet whisper from a loved one, hearing is one of the most important ways we experience and interact with the world. Scientists are learning more and more about how the sounds that enter our ears are translated into information that we need to understand the world around us. The process by which sound is captured and funneled into our ears is simply mechanical - it is not a chemical process like the others that are related to our senses of sight, taste and smell. As we will see, each part of the ear has a job to do in collecting and transporting sound to the brain.
