tinitis

Tinitis is one of those conditions that afffect many people.
It can vary in severity and is very difficult to assess because of an individuals reaction to such a subjextive condition.
It can be caused by some very serious conditions such as tumors and many other causes.

It is so difficult because tinitis is so widespread and the severity varies.

Some people simply ignore it and others seem to hyperfocus on it. I have a constant ringing in my ears and if I hyperfocus on it, I am sure I could make endless trips to every concievable specialist and never make it go away.

Some people seem to hyperfocus on many conditions and others seem to ignore them. Minor joint pain, tinitis, dizziness, chest pains, and racing thoughts fit into this category.
A doc cannot afford to ignore such complaints, but those who cry wolf fit in here.
