What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a condition in which you hear ringing or other disturbances in one or both ears. When you have tinnitus, the noise you hear isn’t generated by external sounds, and most people can’t hear it. Tinnitus is a frequent affliction. It affects 15% to 20% of the population, with elderly persons being the most affected.
Tinnitus is generally caused by an underlying disease, such as hearing loss due to aging, an ear injury, or a circulatory system problem. Treatment of the underlying cause or other therapies that diminish or conceal the noise, making tinnitus less obvious, relieves tinnitus for many people.

Symptoms of Tinnitus:
Tinnitus is most commonly defined as a ringing in the ears, despite the absence of external sound. Tinnitus, on the other hand, can create a variety of phantom noises in your ears, including:
Subjective tinnitus, or tinnitus that only you can hear, affects the majority of persons with tinnitus. Tinnitus noises can range from a low roar to a high scream, and they can be heard in one or both ears. The sound might be so loud that it interferes with your ability to focus or hear external sounds in some situations. Tinnitus can be with you all the time or come and go.
Tinnitus can often manifest itself as a repetitive pulsating or whooshing sound, which is commonly synchronized with your heartbeat. Pulsatile tinnitus is the term for this type of tinnitus. When your doctor does an examination, he or she may be able to hear your pulsatile tinnitus (objective tinnitus).
