Imagine waking up one day with a strange buzzing sound in your ears that lasts for hours. A week later it starts again, this time it’s louder and happening on and off all day. By the third week it becomes unbearable and nearly constant. You can’t concentrate, it’s hard to talk to people, watch TV or enjoy music. It disrupts your sleep, your relationships and for some, makes them wonder if life is even worth living under these conditions.
