Tinnitus is when you hear a sound when there is no external source of sound around. This sound can be one of many things. It can be ringing, hissing, or sometimes maybe even just white noise (sound similar to a fan or a waterfall). However, tinnitus is a symptom, which means you don’t treat it directly. You treat whatever it is that caused it. If it was caused by hearing loss for example then it’s not curable. If it was caused by some other curable cause, then curing that will get rid of the tinnitus. I hope this helped.

Edit: spelling
