Tinnitus, referring to ringing sounds or mild clicking noises in the ears, has some causes that can be prevented, such as avoiding loud music (don't sit too close to the speakers at a concert, for example) and not having your music cranked up too high when you listen with headphones or ear-buds. But other causes are still poorly understood. Some medications seem to cause a temporary ringing in the ears (there are people who have an allergic reaction to aspirin, for example), and some illnesses (most notably ear infections) have tinnitus as one of the symptoms. Also, some people get tinnitus when they are in their 50s or 60s, without any particular reason and no known explanation.
At this point, we do not know all of the reasons why certain people get it, and while it is annoying, it is not fatal. There are some medical trials for drugs to treat it, but for now, we are still studying the disease and trying to figure out all of its causes, so that it can eventually be treated more effectively.

Tinnitus is a symptom itself. There are two types of tinnitus 1. Objective tinnitus ( which can be heard by your doctor with a special listening device) 2. Subjective tinnitus ( heard only by the patient) Tinnitus is the perception of sounds by a person that are not in the outside world. Approximately 30 million people in the US suffer from it daily. It is treatable in 90% of cases by ENT physicians. For more info about tinnitus go to: <a href="http://theheardoc.com">Hearing Loss: Facts and Fiction</a>
It is possible, but don't worry about it too much, it could be temporary tinnitus common in younger ages. it just depends on how the tinnitus was triggered.
Yes, hearing aids can relieve tinnitus if it is caused by presbycusis. If presbycusis is not the cause of the tinnitus, hearing aids will not help at all.
The proper term for ringing buzzing or roaring in the ears is Tinnitus. The proper medical way to pronounce it is TIN-nit-us, not tin-I-tus (the second pronunciation would denote an inflammation, which tinnitus is not). There are many causes of tinnitus, but in general it is caused by a disruption in the auditory pathway to the brain. The brain tries to interpret the random misfiring that this disruption causes, but it cannot. The hearing center of the brain (temporal lobe) sends the signal to the thinking part of your brain (frontal cortex) to help it out. When it reaches the frontal cortex is when you first perceive it. Hench, you then hear Tinnitus.
