Tinnitus

Tinnitus is ringing, swishing, or any other type of noise that originates in the ear or head. In most instances tinnitus may not be serious problem. It is an annoyance at best that slowly resolves. However in certain instances, it may be a symptom of an underlying problem.
About 33 percent of the world population suffers from tinnitus. In almost all cases the problem is subjective only the individual hears the clatter.
Tinnitus can affect the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Sometimes the noise in the ear may be a normal phenomenon.When the person go into a soundproof area or office where the normal outside noise is reduced person may become more receptive to normal sounds.
Tinnitus may sometimes due to a problem in the brain or wax or foreign body in the external ear that may obliterate background sounds. When this happens one becomes more aware of the sounds in their own head.
Other causes include fluid retention in the ear or infections or disease of the middle ear bones and the ear drum. Some medications like aspirin or disorders of the inner ear ( Meniere's disease) can cause tinnitus.Likewise any damage to the nerves in the inner ear, or old age, may trigger tinnitus.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Sounds or noises in the ear could be constant irregular or pulsating or synchronous with heartbeat or may be hearing loss of balance with vertigo.
Dr will look into your medical history and conduct a series of tests to find out the cause Dr may also order a hearing test ( audiogram)
Other tests such as auditory brain stem response ( ABR) a computerised test of the hearing nerves and brain pathways computerised tomography scan (CT scan) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI scan) or magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI scan) may be ordered to rule out a tumor.
Tumors are uncommon but tests may sometimes be necessary in the presence of unexplained tinnitus.
