Is there a cure tinnitus?
It is first important to note that tinnitus is not a disease process in and of itself. Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head. The sounds have been described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, tones, music, etc. Tinnitus is a common side effect of medications. It can also be a symptom of some other disease process. For this reason, it is important to see a specialist, specifically an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician, if you are experiencing tinnitus. They will help you to determine if the tinnitus is being caused by one of your medications, and more importantly they will order special tests that confirm or rule out disease processes for which tinnitus is a symptom. So is there a cure for tinnitus? The answer is that it depends on the underlying cause. Take the necessary steps to determine what is causing the tinnitus, and you'll be that much closer to finding a cure.
What is the medical term meaning ringing in the ear?
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.
Does tinnitus disappear after you quit taking aspirin?

Can dirty ear drums can cause tinnitus?
Hi, In my opinion, probably not. Tinnitus is usually related to some type of nerve activity either caused by damage to the inner ear or within the brain itself. I've dealt with Tinnitus for several years now and it's a real annoyance. Better off seeing a specialist to get the cause diagnosed as there may be a treatment for your specific type of Tinnitus. Hope this helps, Cubby
Can tinnitus resolve on its own?
Yes, it actually can resolve on it's own. It may take a long time (months, even years), but improvement may be seen. However, Tinnitus can have a lot of causes. If the Tinnitus is caused by damage to the inner ear through, for example, noise trauma, it's less likely to disappear over time.
