Hearing loss creeps up on you gradually, and sometimes, you don’t even notice it’s happening. But just because it sneaks around with ninja-like prowess doesn’t mean there aren't any signs.

Tinnitus is often described as a constant ringing, buzzing, whistling, roaring, or chirping—and it usually comes along with some hearing loss.

The Pretender
