Tinnitus â The commonest symptom of inner ear nerve damage is tinnitus. A constant sound which does not come from the surroundings but is heard by the person almost continuously is known as tinnitus. It can be a roar, a buzzing or clicking sound or a constant ringing and may be experienced in one or both the ears.
There are also tales in which supernatural beings appear in the form of well-known animals and assist or grant favors to humans. In the mythology of the Plains tribes, the buffalo is a favorite character and is seldom encountered in the mythology from other areas. The bear, beaver, elk, eagle, owl, and snake are also frequently referred to, but also occur in the myths of Woodland and other tribes.
The myths and legends of the Aboriginal people, including their accounts of the creation of the world, are known as the Dreamtime. Such stories feature monsters, of whom many are mythological. Others, however, may have reference to real creatures, the Aborigines even insisting on their past âflesh-and-bloodâ existence.
