Something that often happens to the hearing part of the inner ear is called tinnitus, which is a ringing of the ears. Most often it is a sign of some sort of damage to the inner ear's hearing sensors. Ringing in the ears should always be evaluated because it can be a sign of ear problems which could need medical attention. Fortunately, there are new treatments for tinnitus that can reduce both the awareness and annoyance of it. Neuromonics, the latest FDA-cleared treatment, is the most effective treatment for tinnitus that has ever been developed.
