Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Includes
Ringing in the ears, whistling in the ears.
Description
Tinnitus is an auditory sensation that is unrelated to a sound generated by a vibration outside the body and is inaudible to others. The sound may resemble a buzzing, whistling or even ringing in one's head or in one or both ears.
According to Dr. Jean-Paul Curtay, tinnitus is often caused by a magnesium deficiency. Other experts believe it is due to circulatory problems in the ear.
