In silence, the brain lacks external acoustic stimulation and compensates by increasing the volume of internal signals, making the noise more prominent. While ambient city or office noise masks this effect during the day, the absence of sound at night forces the brain to focus on these internal phantom signals. Often, a person is unaware of their hearing loss until persistent ringing appears. For those with significant hearing loss, hearing aids are recommended as they restore access to natural frequencies, reducing the brain's need to generate phantom noise. The first point of contact should be an otolaryngologist (ENT), who can perform audiometry to determine if the condition is linked to hearing loss or requires a referral to a neurologist or cardiologist.
