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.
What is also interesting however is that many people report that their tinnitus causes them extreme anxiety. The constant ear ringing provides a massive disruption of their ability to enjoy life, and in some cases can harm their ability to get sleep.
