Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sound without an external source, which is often described as a "buzzing" or "ringing" in the ears. The purpose of this research is to examine the causes, mechanisms, and treatment options for tinnitus. Tinnitus is caused by hearing loss, somatosensory system malfunction, and lesions of the auditory brain. Serious underlying diseases are uncommon in most situations. Hearing loss is the most common reason. Tinnitus does not always accompany hearing loss, and hearing loss does not always accompany tinnitus. The first is addressed by the "inhibitory gating mechanism," while the latter is explained by the assumption that all tinnitus sufferers have some degree of hearing impairment that is not often discovered by regular audiological testing. Pharmacotherapy, education, counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and sound therapy are among recent popular treatments. Counseling should include information on the link between tinnitus and hearing loss, as well as lifestyle factors that might affect tinnitus management in both positive and negative ways. Symptomatic alleviation or the management of associated distress should be the therapeutic aims.
