According to the view of doctors, tinnitus is a tinkling, whipping, or any other types of noises which originate in our ear or in our head.
Most of the cases it is not a serious problem but a nuisance which is eventually resolved.
Tinnitus is not a single disease.
It is a symptom of a basal condition.
In a recent study about thirty six million Americans are suffered by this disease.
In maximum case the patient hear the noise.
It is mainly arisen in our ear (inner ear, middle ear, outer ear).
It is also arisen by the abnormalities of our brain.
When one person goes into soundless place like sound proofed booth or the place where the out sided noise is not entered, then one can hear of these tinnitus related normal sounds.
For the masking of outside noise, we can not hear these body sounds.
Some of the other symptoms or diseases like fluid infection, middle ear bones disease, or Tympanic Membrane (ear drum) can also caused by tinnitus.
Damaging the microscopic endings of the inquiry nerve in the inside ear is also one of the most common symptoms caused by tinnitus .
Exposure of loud noise is a cause too which often damages our hearing.
Many people unfortunately are unconscious about the bad effects of loud noise, high intensity of music and firearms.
Some of the medications like aspirin and the decrease of inner ear can cause tinnitus.
It can be a cause of serious problems like acoustic tumor or aneurysm.
From the research of American Tinnitus Association there are some several tasks by which one can protect himself from excessive noise related to the tinnitus.
Keep protecting your hearing at work, wear earmuffs, wear hearing protection in a concert, hunting or in a sporting event.
I think if you always keep in mind about those rules and regulations, you will be safe all time from tinnitus.
Wish you to enjoy your happy life.
