Exposure to loud noises is a very common cause of tinnitus, and it often damages hearing as well.
Unfortunately, many people are unconcerned about the harmful effects of excessively loud noises such as from firearms, high intensity music and July fourth explosions. As we are all well aware, we live in a loud world. Some medications, such as aspirin, can either cause tinnitus or exacerbate the condition.
Tinnitus can in very rare situations be a symptom of such serious problems as an aneurysm or a brain tumor.
I have known people whose tinnitus was caused by a sinus infection or other types of sinus diseases. When the infection clears, the tinnitus seems to clear. Putting things in your ears, such as Q tips to clean your ears, can cause damage leading to tinnitus. The first thing a person should do if they are experiencing these uncomfortable sounds in their ear is to be seen by a Medical Doctor.
Obviously, it is important to rule out any serious physical problems that could be the root cause of this condition. However, after any disease process is ruled out then, there are a number of things people can do to get relief from this annoying noise in the ear. Aspirin and other similar products should be used with great care as they can irritate tinnitus.

My four year old can read most of this on his own. The short paragraphs and flaps make it really interesting.

This is beautiful, proper brain science for beginners. Clark is the more cautious, mixing the idea of a representation in the head with the notion that the objects we handle and memory props we use — notebooks, computers, phones — become part of our consciousness. Boldest, however, is philosopher and robotics engineer Riccardo Manzotti.
In The Spread Mind: Why Consciousness and the World Are One he strenuously denies that there is anything in the head but neurons and electrochemistry; the experience that constitutes our lives lies outside, one with the object, which is as it is thanks to the presence of our bodies and indeed our neurons. What is extraordinary is how systematically and engagingly Manzotti is able to reconcile this externalist and physicalist approach with the findings of neuroscience, the theory of relativity and even quantum mechanics.
