Author(s): Owolawi Victor Ifeoluwa
Abstract: Tinnitus is the name for a ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears which are not caused by sounds coming from the outside world, tinnitus can manifest in different forms like a hissing noise, cricket like sound, humming noise, roaring noise, buzzing noise, pulsing or pulsating noise etc., tinnitus may be constant or fluctuating in nature. Tinnitus is usually a symptom and not a disease itself, but it’s becoming more common. Tinnitus is often experienced in quiet settings e.g., at night when there is relative silence everywhere. This occurs principally due to lack of external sound to mask the tinnitus. Tinnitus might get better by itself if untreated as there is no known cure to all types of tinnitus yet but in the main while there are treatments that can help treat or manage the condition. Tinnitus prevention and treatment is still being heavily researched into till date. This paper looks into diagnosing, management and treatment of tinnitus.
