Tinnitus is not a disease it is a condition in which noises, usually buzzing or ringing are heard in the ear in the absence of corresponding external sound.
An estimated 10% of the UK population are affected by tinnitus and while some people manage the condition, for others it causes a great deal of stress and agitation. At present there is not specific cure for tinnitus but there are a lot of therapists that can help.
