Tinnitus
Posted on 10/01/2009 07:15 am byTinnitus is a common problem that affects about one in five people. It is actually a symptom that manifests itself by the person hearing a noise or ringing in the ear when there is actually no external noise or sound present.
Tinnitus symptoms not only include ringing in ear but may also be heard as:
· Buzzing
· Roaring
· Clicking
· Pulsing
· Ocean waves
· Dial Tones
The sound can vary in pitch from low to high, can be sing tone or multi-tonal, be in one ear or both and may be constant, intermittent or pulsing. 
There are two classifications of Tinnitus:
Subjective - which is the most common symptom that is a form only audible to the person. This symptom in particular is also thought to be reported in 80 percent of those who suffer sensorineural hearing loss.
Objective – mostly associated with vascular or muscular disorders and relates to less than 5 percent Tinnitus cases. Unlike Subjective Tinnitus, this symptom is audible to your doctor and is often described as pulsatile, or synchronous to the person’s heartbeat.
Though the severity of Tinnitus symptoms may vary, the annoying ringing in ear may also be the cause for difficulty sleeping, loss of concentration, depression and anxiety.
Being that Tinnitus is not a condition but rather a symptom of some other health problem, it is recommended that a doctor be consulted to possibly find the root cause. Some treatments that may be suggested are noise suppression devices and medications.
In addition, there is now a Tinnitus natural remedy available that can reduce and even stop ringing in ears. For more information on this fantastic new development Click Here!
