On the occasion of tinnitus awareness weak may 13-19 am writing this in my blog

Tinnitus It is the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound. Mainly occurs due to neurological damage

abnormally loud sounds in the ear canal for even the briefest period (but usually with some duration), ear infections, foreign objects in the ear, nasal allergies that prevent (or induce) fluid drain, or wax build-up. Withdrawal from a benzodiazepine addiction may cause tinnitus as well. In-ear headphones, whose sound enters directly into the ear canal without any opportunity to be deflected or absorbed elsewhere, are a common cause of tinnitus when volume is set beyond moderate levels.
Tinnitus may be an accompaniment of sensorineural hearing loss or congenital hearing loss, or it may be observed as a side effect of certain medications. However, the most common cause is noise-induced hearing loss.
Tinnitus is common; about 20% of people between 55 and 65 years old report symptoms on a general health questionnaire, and 11.8% on more detailed tinnitus-specific questionnaires

Tinnitus impacts up to 50 million people in the United States and millions more worldwide. Most commonly caused by noise exposure, tinnitus drastically reduces quality of life for 250 million people worldwide. We did not know the noumber of people suffering from this in india

Symptoms of tinnitus

Tinnitus is a sound that's heard in one or both ears for which there's no external source. The sounds appear to originate within the ear and are described as ringing, buzzing, roaring, hissing or whistling. There is nothing actually causing the sounds, it is a misinterpretation by the brain of signals from the nerves in the ear.

Episodes of tinnitus may be brief or it can be a permanent problem. The noise can affect concentration and cause insomnia. When it's very disruptive, it can cause anxiety and occasionally leads to depression.

Causes of tinnitus

Tinnitus can be associated with any abnormal condition of the ear and is often linked to hearing loss, particularly related to ageing (presbyacusis).
Common causes of tinnitus include:

• Exposure to noise
• Presence of earwax
• Head injury
• Stress
• Ear Infections
• Ménière's disease
• Some medication, such as aspirin
• Overactive thyroid gland or anaemia

Tinnitus that occurs in only one ear should be take more seriously as it may be caused by an acoustic neuroma, a rare tumour that grows around the acoustic nerve that connects the ear to the brain.

Tinnitus treatments

Its happy to say that one of our indian company Lincoln pharmacy had successful invented an injection to treat  it “Lincoln Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (LPL), an Ahmedabad-based drug manufacturing firm company today announced that it has launched Caroverine injection under the brand name ‘TINNITIN’ which is India’s first drug to treat Tinnitus – a disease commonly known as ‘ringing in the ear’.

The company developed Caroverine injection under research and development collaboration with Phafag AG, a Switzerland-based drug manufacturing firm, a release from LPL said.” (2)

 Other preventive measures
Avoiding exposure to loud noise and earwax build-up can help prevent tinnitus. If there's a treatable underlying cause, once this is treated the tinnitus should disappear.
Reassurance that the tinnitus isn't being caused by a serious problem often solves the problem.
Masking the noise with a background radio or a masking device (using white noise) helps to distract the person from the tinnitus.
Counselling and antidepressant therapy may be used if the symptoms are causing anxiety and depression.
