Tinnitus is the perceived sensation of sound in the absence of acoustic stimulation. Individuals who suffer from it are commonly between the ages of 40 and 80 years. Tinnitus is often classified as objective or subjective, yet the pathophysiologic cause is still unknown. Subjective tinnitus is largely identified with hearing loss. Management of tinnitus is based on an individual approach; there is no single treatment or regimen for it.
耳鸣是在没有声音刺激时所感觉到的声响。患有耳鸣的人通常年龄在40至80岁之间。耳鸣通常分为客观性耳鸣或主观性耳鸣,但其病理生理原因仍然不明。主观性耳鸣很大程度上与听力损失有关。耳鸣的治疗基于个体化方法;没有单一的治疗方法或方案适用于耳鸣。
