What Is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a common condition that occurs when one or both ears experience ringing or other sounds. It can be described as the sensation of hearing sounds such as ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds.
When you have tinnitus, the noise you hear is not the result of external sounds, and other people are usually unable to hear it. About 15 per cent to 20 per cent of people are affected by this disorder, which is particularly prevalent among the elderly [1].
What Causes Tinnitus?
There are usually underlying conditions that cause tinnitus, such as age-related hearing loss, an ear injury, or a problem with the circulatory system.
Rather than being a disease, tinnitus is a symptom of something wrong with the auditory system, which consists of the ears, the auditory nerve connecting the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound. For example, tinnitus may be caused by something as simple as an earwax blockage of the ear canal [2].
Tinnitus is commonly caused by damage to the middle or inner ear. An eardrum injury or the tiny bones in the middle ear may also interfere with the proper transmission of sound. Tumours in the ear or the auditory nerve may also cause ear ringing.
Those who are exposed to extremely loud sounds regularly may develop tinnitus.
Listening to loud music through headphones or at a concert can also cause temporary tinnitus symptoms. In addition, people who use jackhammers, chainsaws, or other heavy equipment are more likely to have tinnitus.
Medications can also cause tinnitus and hearing damage, known as ototoxicity, in some individuals.
The common causes of tinnitus are as follows:
- Meniere’s disease
- Brain tumours
- Hormonal changes (women)
- Thyroid abnormalities
- Noise-induced hearing loss
- Ear and sinus infections
- Diseases of the heart or blood vessels
What Are The Symptoms Of Tinnitus?
