Tinnitus (ringing within ears)?

I need the location, problem/fact, cause, and treatment, and i can't find anything!
try putting the word Tinnitus into google...you'll find it comes back near results for everything you have asked about.
I really can't say anything that the previous entity didn't say already. But I would highly recommend using white tumult when ever you can, and taking zinc and vitamin e. All three of those will help lessen the affects of the tinnitus. Also, give your ears a rest, and wear ear plugs when ever you conjecture things are getting to loud.

"> Tinnitus (from the Latin word for "ringing") is the perception of nouns within the human ear in the nothingness of corresponding external sound.

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or within the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but within some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistle sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "tree frogs" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping. It have also been described as a "wooshing" sound, as of coil or waves. Tinnitus can be intermittent or it can be continuous. In the latter case, this "phantom" nouns can create great distress in the sufferer.

Tinnitus is not itself a disease but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying cause. Causes include ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, nose allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain and inflict wax build-up, and injury from loud noises. Tinnitus is also a side-effect of some oral medications, such as aspirin, and may also result from an curiously low level of serotonin activity. It is also a classical side effect of Quinidine, a Class IA anti-arrhythmic. In heaps cases, however, no underlying physical cause can be identified.

The sound perceived may length from a quiet background hullabaloo to one that can be heard even over loud external sounds. The term "tinnitus" usually refers to more severe cases. Heller and Bergman (1953) conducted a study of 80 tinnitus-free university students placed contained by an anechoic chamber and found that 93% reported hearing a buzzing, pulsing or whistling nouns. Cohort studies have demonstrated that damage to audible range (among other health effects) from unnatural levels of racket exposure is very widespread surrounded by industrialized countries.

Yeah, I would read the article. It has all the stuff that you looked-for, and it would be too long to put in here IMO. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus
