Tinnitus

Explanation:

Tinnitus is a tinnitus in the head, which is not related to any psychic problem, but can be caused as a side effect of high doses of aspirin. Noise can be experienced in the head, one or both ears. Tinnitus can vary greatly between individuals, so you can  find different types of tinnitus, which vary considerably among themselves, as well as in intensity. Some people describe tinnitus as a high-pitched whistle, while others consider tinnitus as a buzzing noise or sound like frying, yet some describe tinnitus as heartbeat-like beats, known as pulsating tinnitus.
