Often the tinnitus is only in one ear. In some of these situations, the tinnitus can be treated surgically, and thus a visit to an otologist (a physician specializing in the ear) is advisable. Sensorineural tinnitus can have many causes (e.g. noise, medications, head injury, infections, and aging).
Less Common Causes of Tinnitus: 1. Meniere's disease. Tinnitus can be an early indicator of Meniere's disease, an inner ear disorder that may be caused by abnormal inner ear fluid pressure. A feeling of ear fullness, vertigo, and hearing loss are other symptoms of Meniereâs disease. 2. Ear bone changes. Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear (otosclerosis) may affect your hearing and cause tinnitus. This condition, caused by abnormal bone growth, tends to run in families.
