Tinnitus is a physical condition, experienced as noises or ringing in the ears or head when no such external physical noise is present. Tinnitus is usually caused by a fault in the hearing system; it is asymptom, not a disease in itself.
The word "tinnitus" means "tinkling or ringing like a bell". Latin origin; usually pronounced tinn-itus, the "i" as in "sit".
