Tinnitus

Tinnitus is often described as a ringing in the ears. It also can sound like roaring, clicking, hissing, or buzzing. It may be soft or loud, high pitched or low pitched. The sound may seem to come from one ear or both, from inside the head, or from a distance. It may be constant or intermittent, steady or pulsating.
Tinnitus isn't a condition itself — it's a symptom of an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, ear injury or a circulatory system disorder. In its mildest form, tinnitus is extremely common and many people experience occasional sounds in their ears.

Types of Tinnitus

1. Subjective tinnitus: This can be heard only by the person. It is by far the most common type of tinnitus.
2. Objective tinnitus: This can be heard by somebody examining the person and is very uncommon. It can be caused by a variety of physical effects such as spasm of the tiny muscles in the middle ear, abnormalities in the blood vessels or increased blood flow to the ear
