Tinnitus is commonly known as ringing in the ears, although the actual sound heard varies from ringing to
swooshing to a heartbeat-like sound. Tinnitus is caused by a number of underlying conditions, including hearing loss, exposure to loud noises, high blood pressure and even wax buildup in the ears. In these cases, tinnitus is easy to treat by solving the underlying problem. For others, the cause of tinnitus remains unexplained. It is in this population that tinnitus is difficult to treat.
