Millions of Americans live with tinnitus, a condition characterized by a persistent ringing sound. One such individual is Ken Seibert, who experiences a constant noise similar to air escaping from a tire. Seibert has been wearing hearing aids for about 20 years, which help him manage his condition to some extent.
However, the sound persists in the background, even when he is listening to music or TV. Further information on tinnitus and its management is available from sources such as Aging Untold, which features insights from medical professionals, including audiologists and other experts.
