Causes Of Tinnitus To Look Out For

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease can cause an array of symptoms, but one of the first signs patients often experience is tinnitus. This disease is a type of inner ear disorder that causes individuals to experience fluctuating hearing loss, pressure in the ear, vertigo, and tinnitus. Over time, the hearing loss from Meniere's disease can become permanent. In most cases, those with this disorder only have it in one ear.

While the pathology is not well understood, doctors believe the improper fluid drainage, allergies, a genetic predisposition, migraines, abnormal immune response, viral infection or head trauma could all play a role in causing Meniere's disease. What is known is patients with this condition tend to have abnormal fluid levels in their inner ear.
