Many people experience persistent ringing, ringing, or ringing in their ears. This disorder, commonly called tinnitus , is not a disease in itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem. Although they may seem harmless, frequent tinnitus can sometimes signal more serious health problems.
Common causes of tinnitus
Hearing loss – Age- or noise-related hearing damage is one of the most common triggers.
Ear disorders – Earwax buildup, infections, or middle ear problems can create ringing sensations.
Medications – Certain antibiotics, painkillers, and high doses of aspirin can cause tinnitus.
Circulatory problems – High blood pressure or vascular problems can sometimes affect ear function.
