Nearly 50 million Americans suffer from tinnitus, ringing in the ears that can stop and start or go on uninterrupted. In at least one million cases, tinnitus is severe enough to interfere with daily activities – the disorder can be so distracting that people can’t hear, work or even sleep.

Many times there is no sound from the outside world, but there is always a sound in the ear. This is tinnitus. Tinnitus can be divided into objective tinnitus and subjective tinnitus.

The tinnitus caused by noise is mainly manifested by the disorder of the spontaneous activity of the auditory nerve fibers.

2.Drug poisoning: The drugs that cause tinnitus fall into two categories. One type of drug causes only tinnitus without causing hearing loss. This is because these drugs affect the metabolism of biogenic amines related to neurotransmitters in the central nervous system, causing hearing. The “convulsion” side effects of central neurons.
