	Tinnitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tinnitus is the Latin word for "ringing"[2], and usually it described as a ringing noise, but some describe buzzing, humming, whistling, tunes, or songs.

		Pulsatile tinnitus is usually objective in nature, resulting from altered blood flow or increased blood turbulence near the ear (such as from atherosclerosis or venous hum[9]), but it can also arise as a subjective phenomenon from an increased awareness of blood flow in the ear.
