While it's often merely a nuisance, tinnitus can be an indication of a more serious problem, such as an aneurysm or brain tumor, although these instances are extremely rare. In general, tinnitus can cause a loss of concentration, cause difficulty sleeping, difficulty concentrating, increase anxiety and make it difficult to hear. Tinnitus is best described as a noise, most often ringing, that seems to originate from within the person's ear or inside the head. For others, tinnitus is more like a swooshing sound and it can even manifest as a pulsating sound, like that of a heartbeat.
