Abstract
Tinnitus is the perception of noise in the ear for head. Subjective tinnitus is heard by the patient only, whereas objective tinnitus can be heard by the observer. Objective tinnitus is much less common than subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus often is associated with hearing loss, but there are great many other causes that range from medications to vascular abnormalities to tumors. Tinnitus should be characterized, and potentially serious treatable causes should be identified whenever possible.
