🔔 Tinnitus: MYTHS vs FACTS 👂
❌ MYTH: Tinnitus is a disease
✅ FACT: Tinnitus is a symptom, not a condition itself. It’s a sign that something is affecting the hearing system.
❌ MYTH: There’s nothing that can be done
✅ FACT: While there’s no guaranteed cure, many people can manage tinnitus successfully with the right advice and support.
❌ MYTH: Ear wax causes tinnitus
✅ FACT: Wax doesn’t cause tinnitus, but a build-up can make it feel worse by blocking sound and increasing awareness of internal noise.
❌ MYTH: Removing wax will cure tinnitus
✅ FACT: Wax removal may improve symptoms, but it will not cure tinnitus if there are other underlying causes.
❌ MYTH: Tinnitus always means something serious
✅ FACT: Tinnitus is very common and often linked to hearing loss, stress, noise exposure, or ear pressure issues.
If tinnitus is new, worsening, or concerning you, a professional ear check is a sensible first step.
