WHAT CAUSES TINNITUS?
While researchers and experts—including our partners at Starkey—are still working to pinpoint the exact physical mechanics of tinnitus, several common factors are known to trigger the ringing or make it noticeably worse. These include:
Loud Noises and Hearing Loss
Loud Noises and Hearing Loss
The Aging Process
As we grow older, the natural deterioration of these same cilia can prompt tinnitus symptoms to emerge alongside age-related hearing decline.
Ototoxic Medications
Certain prescription drugs—including specific antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and antidepressants—can inadvertently harm your inner ear structures and the nerve fibers connecting them to your brain.
Underlying Hearing Conditions
Medical conditions such as Ménière’s disease and otosclerosis frequently present with tinnitus as a primary symptom.
General Health Factors
Tinnitus can sometimes act as a warning sign for other physical health issues, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, prolonged stress, or head and neck injuries.
WHAT IS TINNITUS?
Tinnitus is a prevalent auditory condition where an individual perceives a persistent sound that has no external source in their environment. While it is most commonly described as a “ringing in the ears,” patients in our Tampa clinics often report hearing a buzzing, hissing, whooshing, clicking, or whistling noise. Though the triggers can vary widely from person to person, the vast majority of tinnitus cases are directly linked to underlying damage within the auditory system.
