There are two types of tinnitus, subjective and objective tinnitus. The former is where the sufferer alone hears the noises in their ears. The latter is where a specialist can also hear what the sufferer hears by using a special instrument. Subjective tinnitus is the most common form, and is usually the less serious of the two.
Tinnitus has a number of potential causes; age-related hearing loss, noise damage, head / neck trauma, inner ear / auditory nerve damage, meniere's disease, middle / inner ear infections, stress, anxiety, sinus problems, allergies, ear wax, some long term medications (e.g. aspirin), etc.
