Analysis of a survey led by the Curtin University in Western Australia has concluded that around 25 percent of the Australian workforce will experience tinnitus, also known as ringing ears.
Tinnitus, the perception of sound without stimulus, is common and often is not a sign of a severe health problem; however, if persistent, it can disturb sleep, cause anxiety/depression, as well as impair a person’s quality of life according to the research team, led by Kate Lewkowski, an audiologist and research associate at Curtin University in Perth.
