Abstract "Tinnitus is considered a symptom and not a disease, in which a person hears a sound without a sound sourcing producing it. Currently, 28 million Brazilians have this symptom. Young adults are a population currently affected by tinnitus due to abusive use of personal stereos, like ipads, iphone, among others. The goal of this work is to characterize the audio logical profile of individuals with tinnitus and to describe the harmful habits practiced by this people.
