Tinnitus, ringing or buzzing in the ears, affects about 14 percent of adults, with 2 percent experiencing a severe form. The condition is associated with stress and depression and significantly affects quality of life. In severe cases, it can lead to suicide.
Recent research investigated the links between various food groups and tinnitus and found that certain healthy foods, such as fruits and those containing fiber, may reduce the risk. Nondietary lifestyle factors may also contribute.
