Tinnitus

    Tinnitus 

    Tinnitus is described as a sound that a person hears that is produced by the body rather than from an external source. Tinnitus is often defined as the presence of high-pitched ringing or buzzing that is generally exclusively audible to the person who is affected.

    The majority of tinnitus is subjective, which means that the examiner cannot hear it, and there are no instruments to test or hear it. However, objective tinnitus might occur as a result of an aneurysm and be heard by the examiner.

    Tinnitus is one of the most frequent and bothersome otologic diseases, causing a variety of physical and psychological illnesses that impair quality of life.

    Tinnitus is also a frequent symptom in children with hearing loss. Tinnitus is a subjective experience that is difficult to scientifically analyze, as it is only measured, quantified, and reported based on patient responses.
