Tinnitus: Not to worry. Tinnitus is not a disease but a condition caused by something else. Most commonly it is from loud sounds that you may have been exposed to recently. Other causes include ear infections, wax buildup in the ear, emotional stress, and withdrawal from mediciations. See your medical doctor for evaluation and possible referral to an ear nose and throat physician.
