Tinnitus Doesn’t Have to Take Over Your Life
Tinnitus can manifest as a persistent sound that fluctuates in intensity, impacting your ability to focus, sleep, or enjoy daily activities. Understanding what causes tinnitus is essential for effective management and relief.
What Causes Tinnitus?
Tinnitus often stems from various factors, including:
Exposure to Loud Noises
Extended exposure to high volumes can damage the hair cells in your inner ear. This type of damage builds gradually and can lead to long-term issues like tinnitus or permanent hearing changes if not protected against early.
Age-Related Hearing Loss
As we age, the acoustic system weakens, potentially leading to perceptible sounds. These changes in hearing sensitivity can cause the brain to misinterpret sound signals, often resulting in persistent ringing or buzzing.
Ear Conditions
Conditions such as ear infections, earwax buildup, or Eustachian tube dysfunction can influence tinnitus. When the ear’s natural balance is thrown off, it may create pressure or irregular signals that the brain interprets as sound.
Health Conditions
Underlying health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, or sinus infections might trigger symptoms. These conditions can affect circulation or nerve function in ways that impact how your ears and brain process sound.
Medications
Certain medications can have tinnitus as a side effect. This can happen when drugs affect the inner ear or auditory nerves — especially with higher doses or long-term use — making it important to review medications with your doctor.
