Ringing in the Ears
Before a person with syncope passes out, they may first experience sweating, blurred vision or a ringing in the ears. Ringing in the ears, usually referred to as tinnitus, commonly occurs alongside dizziness. In fact, tinnitus and vertigo are very closely related.
Both diseases of the ear, tinnitus and vertigo, can cause balance issues, sometimes resulting in a faint. The sometimes buzzing or whistling sound that people experience due to tinnitus may be the result of hearing loss, ear infections and head or neck injuries.
