Tinnitus is when we hear buzzing, whistling, squeaking, or other noises that are not caused by external sounds. As such, it is phantom auditory perception, that is, the perception of sound without corresponding vibrational activity in the inner ear.

More than 90% of the population perceives time for a short duration, normally this sound which eventually disappears within a few seconds.
