What Causes Tinnitus?

Any condition that can affect our ears, hearing, or sense of balance can also cause tinnitus. Noise exposure is the leading cause of tinnitus. Over 90% of those with tinnitus have some degree of noise-induced hearing loss. Whether it is the outer, middle, or inner ear, all areas can be thoroughly examined to ensure there is no medically treatable approach to eliminate or reduce the tinnitus.

Some known causes of tinnitus include:
  • Exposure to extreme noise levels
  • High blood pressure
  • Over production of ear wax
  • Ear infections
  • Acoustic tumors
  • Underactive thyroid
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Allergies
  • Degeneration of the bones in the middle ear
  • Age-related changes in the inner ear
  • Certain prescription drugs or other medications
  • Head/neck disorders due to trauma
 
The Widex-only Zen Program is a wonderful sound therapy tool for relaxation and tinnitus management.
