What is tinnitus is the foremost question that comes to our mind. Tinnitus is a condition in which a person experiences ringing in the ears. It"s a very common problem which is faced by 1 in 5 people. It is just not a condition it"s a symptom for underlying condition that could be anything such as circulatory system disorder, ear injury or hearing loss. It is not at all a serious symptom which can"t be controlled or treated but still bothers a lot. Tinnitus can be treated with proper care and treatment. The condition gives person a sensation of hearing sounds like buzzing, hissing, ringing, roaring, clicking even though no external sound is present. The pitch and volume of the noise varies from low to high and it can be either in one ear or both of them. The constant disturbance due to internal noises creates stress and anxiety among the people. It makes it difficult for them to concentrate on anything other than the sound. Tinnitus can always be an ongoing condition or it can come and go.

Tinnitus has two types subjective and objective. In subjective one, only the patient hears the sound and problem can be in ear or can be of hearing nerves. In case of objective one, the doctor can hear the sounds that patient experiences when he/she examines the patient. Such cases are very rare and the problem can be due to blood vessels or ear muscle contractions. The exact cause of this condition is not known. But most of the medical representatives believe that exposure to noise leads to this. People those who work in industrial areas or are in military are more vulnerable to tinnitus. Also brain injury, side effects of drugs such as ototoxic, aspirin, and certain types of antibiotics and cancer drugs also contribute to this problem.

For diagnosis of tinnitus physicians request for medical history of the patient, conduct a physical examination and take a series of tests. The treatment includes checking of ear wax, foreign objects or hair in the ear. For the treatment there are various methods. Some physicians, to get relieve from sounds give their patient acoustic neural stimulus using earphones. This would help you in controlling the tinnitus symptoms. This lasts quite a few months before proceeding further. In later stages the acoustic neural stimulus is changed and desensitization occurs. This stage also lasts few months. This reduces the sounds to a considerable extent. After all this the maintenance is necessary to avoid any further occurring of such condition.

Lastly, Tinnitus is curable and avoidable too. If we take care of our hearing power and keep our selves protected from loud noises then it would be possible to avoid such situation. In case of treating an existing condition consult an experienced physician who guides you and treats you in most effective manner. There are several clinics who claim to give best services for ear treatments but one must be wise. Research well about your symptoms and then find doctors who are reliable for treating it.
