Tinnitus can in very rare situations be a symptom of such serious problems as an aneurysm or a brain tumor.
Tinnitus is an abnormal noise in the ear. Tinnitus is common nearly 36 million Americans have constant tinnitus and more than half of the normal population has intermittent tinnitus. One of the most common causes of tinnitus is damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment, and consequently tinnitus. Some medications (for example, aspirin) and other diseases of the inner ear (Meniere’s syndrome) can cause tinnitus.
