Possible Causes of Tinnitus
Aging/Hearing Loss
Damage to the inner ear’s hair cells, often due to aging or noise exposure, can lead to phantom ringing or buzzing sounds.
Noise Exposure
Loud environments (concerts, machinery, firearms) can cause temporary or permanent tinnitus.
Ear Conditions
Ear infections, wax buildup, otosclerosis (stiffening of middle ear bones), or Meniere’s disease can trigger tinnitus.
Neurological Factors/Head Injuries
The brain’s auditory processing can become hypersensitive or misinterpret signals, leading to tinnitus.
Jaw & Neck Issues
TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) and neck tension can affect the auditory system.
Circulatory Problems
High blood pressure, poor circulation, and vascular disorders can influence tinnitus perception.
Medications
Certain drugs, including high doses of aspirin, antibiotics, and diuretics, are considered "ototoxic" or damaging to the auditory system and can cause or worsen tinnitus.
Hormonal Imbalances
Changes in thyroid function, estrogen, or cortisol levels may contribute to tinnitus symptoms.
Stress & Anxiety
Heightened nervous system activity can make tinnitus more noticeable and persistent.
