What is tinnitus?

Diagnosis of Tinnitus
Most tinnitus is caused by hearing loss. The tiny hair-like receptors on the cochlea, the sound receptor of the ear, can become damaged over time as we age or from loud noise. Another cause of tinnitus is an outer, middle or inner ear problem. It can also be linked to blood vessel disorders.
