Tinnitus is a condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or whistling sounds in the ears when there is no external source of sound present. Loud noise can temporarily mask or drown out the tinnitus sounds, giving the impression that the tinnitus has stopped. However, once the loud noise is no longer present, the tinnitus may return. Additionally, prolonged exposure to loud noises can actually exacerbate tinnitus symptoms and lead to further damage to the auditory system. It is important to protect your ears from loud noises to prevent worsening of tinnitus and other hearing issues.
