What Causes Tinnitus: Common Causes, Triggers and Red Flags
Most tinnitus comes with some hearing loss, usually from aging or loud noise. Other causes include earwax, ear infections, certain medicines such as high-dose aspirin, head or neck injury, Ménière’s disease and blood vessel problems. About 1 in 10 US adults has it each year. Ringing in one ear, a pulsing sound or sudden hearing loss needs a prompt medical check.
