A ringing sound, the Latin word “tinnire” is the origin of the English word tinnitus. It is common for people to hear the sound even when there are no other sounds around, and this impression is independent of any outside force. Objective tinnitus is a sound that others can hear, but subjective tinnitus only the patient hears. The sound of a gunshot or a loud concert, especially one with current sound equipment, can leave many people with ringing in the ears. Although this form of tinnitus is bothersome, it typically disappears after a few hours. Because it is a symptom and not an illness, tinnitus indicates something is wrong. While sensorineural hearing loss is the most common cause of tinnitus, other forms, such as pulsatile, vertigo-accompanied, fluctuating, or unilateral tinnitus, need further investigation. © 2025 Springer Nature Switzerland AG.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccesscurrentEnglish wordPulsatilesSensorineural hearing lossAuditionBook Chapter10.1007/978-3-032-06268-0_475395452-s2.0-105025633760N/A
