Tinnitus is the perception of sound (ringing, buzzing, hissing, whistling) in the ears or head without an external source. Common causes • Hearing loss (age-related or noise exposure) • Ear wax or ear infection • Eustachian tube dysfunction • Noise exposure (headphones, loud sounds) • Drugs (e.g., high-dose aspirin, some antibiotics) • Stress, anxiety, lack of sleep • Hypertension, anemia, thyroid disorders • TMJ problems • Rarely, vestibular schwannoma (especially unilateral tinnitus)

Next Steps

These are the some of the reasons for Tinnitus, so we need to do further evaluation regarding this to come into a proper diagnosis

Health Tips

• Otoscopic examination • Pure tone audiometry • Tympanometry (if indicated) • Blood tests if suspected (Hb, TSH) • Imaging (MRI) only if red flags present
