Research Notes on Tinnitus
Tinnitus is usually described as a ringing noise in the ears. Tinnitus is not a disease itself, but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes, from ear infections, injury from loud noises, and a side effect from some medications like aspirin. If someone is frequently exposed to loud noises, earplugs can be worn to help prevent tinnitus and from causing further damage to the ears.
