TED - What is that ringing in your ears?

Another exciting animated lesson created for TED Education.

This stylized educational video focuses on one of the most prevalent health conditions in the world: Tinnitus!

Tinnitus has been bothering humanity since Ancient Babylon, plaguing everyone from Leonardo da Vinci to Charles Darwin. Today, roughly one in seven people worldwide experiences this auditory sensation. So what exactly is tinnitus, and where does this persistent sound come from? This educational video helps you to learn why.

The sound design in this animation plays a crucial part in the animation as it makes tinnitus audible to the audience and to those who never experienced it before.

Our animation studio has been working with TED for many years and together we have created a large number of educational videos on a variety of subjects that range from science and art, to history and social issues.
