Tinnitus

What is Tinnutus ?
Tinnitus, commonly called ringing in the ears, is the sensation of hearing a sound in the ears when no such sound exists. This sound, which originates inside the head, typically is described as a ringing, but it also can take the form of an annoying hiss, whistle or buzz. Tinnitus can be constant or can come and go.

Symptoms of Tinnutus
Tinnitus is a symptom in itself. However, people who have tinnitus also may have the following:

Insomnia
Difficulty concentrating
Depression
Frustration
Irritability

In addition, depending on the cause of tinnitus, there also may be:

Hearing loss
Dizziness or vertigo
Pain or a plugged feeling in the ear
Nausea

Diagnosis of Tinnutus
The cause of tinnitus may be difficult to determine. Your doctor will ask if you have been exposed to loud noise at work or home, and will ask about medications you take, including all herbs and supplements. He or she may look in your ears to see if you have wax blockage or if the eardrum appears abnormal. If your hearing is affected, then your doctor may have you undergo a hearing test called an audiogram to measure your hearing ability in each ear.
