ABSTRACT:

Tinnitus is a common medical symptom that can be exhausting. Hearing loss, head injury, ototoxic medication, and depression are risk factors. In this review we discuss the main points of management, etiology and background information of tinnitus. We conducted a narrative review to identify studies with tinnitus etiology and treatment strategies among which were published up to June, 2019. Tinnitus is a perception of sound in proximity to the head in the absence of an outside source. The sound might be a buzzing, sounding, or hissing, although it can likewise seem like other noises. Tinnitus is most typically connected with hearing loss, though it may be an offering signs and symptom of vascular or neurological irregularities. Once a serious underlying medical problem has been ruled out, treatment must be routed at the symptom itself, which badly hinders the quality of life in about 10 percent of patients with tinnitus.
