Exact cause for tinnitus is essential for treatment options.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for reaching out to us.

The common causes for Tinnitus includes:
1. Eustachian tube (the tube connecting nose and the ear) block
2. Fluid in the middle ear
3. Damage to the sensitive inner ear or auditory nerve
4. Any vascular malformations in the middle ear
5. Fixation of the middle ear bones
6. Temporo-mandibular joint issues
7. Cervical spondylosis
8. Perforation of the ear drum, etc.

Treating the underlying cause is essential. If all the above causes are ruled out then one can try Intra-tympanic gentamycin, tinnitus maskers or hearing aid.

Wishing you good health
