The definition of tinnitus:

Tinnitus are sounds heard by the person without that it is one cause exterior.

This problem more often affects people elderly, but it can also affect younger people.

The different parts of the ear: the external ear, the middle ear and the inner ear

I make a little reminder, our ears are made up of 3 main parts that have very specific roles:

• The ear external is formed by the flag (also called auricle, It is the structure of the ear we see) and the auditory conduit (tube composed by glands that produce and release the cerumen, substance yellowish which has the function of protect our ears by getting rid of the residues), this conduit leads

At ear-drum which belongs to the second part of the ear, namely, the middle ear

• The ear average is formed by the ear-drum (membrane that has a cavity filled with air) and small bone called bone, these are the smallest bones in our body, there are 3: the hammer or malleus, the anvil or incuse and the stirrup or stages
• The ear internal Or labyrinth is composed by Semi-circular canals and the naughty (structure made up of different cells called receiving cells Or ciliated cells, she is related to the hearing nerve which sends information to brain

After the eardrum, the auditory conduit led to a channel called trompe, this allows bind the ear at the back of nose.

When a her arrives, he enters through our external ear, then he goes into the hearing channel And arrives at ear-drum to do it vibrate.

Then the sound is amplified at the level of the middle ear thanks to bone, he then reached the ear internal and more particularly the cells of naughty that allow transform THE vibes sound in signals nervous to be transmitted to brain via the auditory nerve.

You should know that our ears have 2 functions: hearing which allows us to hear and listen to and balance.

Indeed, our ears intervene in the position of our body and our movements In space where it is. This function is provided by The inner ear.

The causes of tinnitus

Tinnitus is generally due to a alteration of certain cells in terms of The inner ear because of a His too noisy or aging of these cells.

Tinnitus can also appear in case infection, otitis (inflammation), hypertension arterial, when taking some drugs, of a cork of cerumen or a bad traffic blood at the arteries of neck.

Affected cells send a signal In addition to the brains in addition to the signals from the outside, and even when there is no external noise.

Like the brain born Can't distinguish The parasitic sounds of the real exterior sound, he interprets the 2 sounds in same time.
