Answer and Discussion
The answer is C. Sensorineural hearing loss
Tinnitus is a common condition that is characterized by a ringing, roaring, rushing, buzzing, or whistling sound in the ears.
The condition may be continuous or pulsatile with each heartbeat. In most cases, there is an associated hearing loss.
In fact, the major cause of tinnitus is a sensorineural hearing loss.
The list of associated conditions is extensive and includes
- obstruction of the canals,
- eustachian tube dysfunction,
- otosclerosis,
- Meniere’s disease,
- aminoglycoside toxicity,
- chronic use of salicylates,
- anemia,
- hypertension,
- hypothyroidism,
- hyperlipidemia,
- noiseinduced hearing loss, and
- tumors associated with the inner ear (e.g., acoustic neuroma).
aneurysm formation.
Treatment depends on the diagnosis, but in most cases if the underlying disease is controlled, the tinnitus disappears. If no underlying disease process is present, background music or amplification
may help to relieve symptoms.
