Tinnitus affects approximately 15 percent of the global population, presenting an invisible burden that often goes unrecognized. This enigmatic condition manifests as phantom sounds—ringing, buzzing, or hissing—emanating from within the ear rather than from any external source. While it’s frequently associated with hearing loss, the ramifications of tinnitus extend far beyond mere auditory disturbances. Those
