What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is sound or noise originating in the ears or head. The most common form is called subjective tinnitus which means only the person who is experiencing tinnitus can hear it. Many times patients with tinnitus are amazed that others cannot hear it. Objective tinnitus is tinnitus which can actually be heard by others if they put their ear to yours. There is a long list of causes of tinnitus. Tinnitus can be caused by ear infections, excessive ear wax, damage to the ear drum (tympanic membrane), middle ear disease, sensorineural hearing loss (nerve damage), aging, cervical neck disease, tmj, aspirin, ear trauma, excessive noise exposure, increased intracranial pressure, Meniere's disease, acoustic nerve tumors, brain tumors, and unusual medical conditions such as advanced syphilis. Estimates of patients with tinnitus range from 10-15% of the population (30-40 million people). 85% of patients with ear disease experience tinnitus.
