What is Tinnitus?

Tinnitus is the condition in which people experience sounds in their ears or head which do not have an external cause. The noises may be heard as ringing, whistling, roaring, rumbling, clicking or other variations. They are sensed as very loud by some people, and may be unpleasant. One or both ears can be affected. Hearing may be affected as well, but not always. The noise may be temporary, and sometimes disappears, or may come and go, or it can be permanent.
