Tinnitus isn't a disease, it's a problem in which a person hears clicking, buzzing, swishing, or ringing on one or both ears. The condition can be caused by medications, tumors, ear trauma, exposure to loud noises, and Meniere's syndrome. The sounds coming from the ear can be so bothersome that it affects the person's quality of life.
Consult a doctor if tinnitus comes on suddenly and is accompanied by hearing loss or dizziness. A sudden ear ringing may be the result of a newly prescribed medication, in which case the prescribing physician should be alerted to the problem. With the frequent difficulty of determining a diagnosis or underlying cause, solutions to tinnitus can be elusive.
