Tinnitus - what does this mean
Tinnitus is a condition in which a person perceives sound that does not originate from the external environment. it is often described as a ringing, buzzing, or hissing sound in the ears, and is caused by an underlying condition such as hearing loss, head or neck trauma, exposure to loud noises, stress, or certain medications.
What happens during the disease - tinnitus
Tinnitus is a complex auditory phenomenon that is thought to be caused by a combination of neurological, physiological, and psychological factors. it is believed that the central nervous system is involved in the generation of tinnitus, as the auditory pathways are altered and the brain becomes more sensitive to auditory stimuli, resulting in the perception of sound in the absence of an external source. additionally, it is believed that the emotional response to tinnitus is partially due to the limbic system, which is responsible for regulating emotions. finally, psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate the symptoms of tinnitus.
