10 Causes of Ringing In Ears
Cause #4: Head or Neck Injuries
Head and neck injuries have been known to cause tinnitus. Studies show that approximately 12 percent of patients suffering from chronic tinnitus experienced ringing in the ears after a head or neck injury. In this group, approximately 33 percent experienced whiplash.
Besides tinnitus, other related symptoms include difficulty sleeping, inability to focus, memory issues, and difficulty relaxing. Patients with tinnitus after head or neck injuries tend to seek medical treatment sooner than other tinnitus patients (probably due to the severity of the tinnitus).
