10 Causes of Ringing In Ears
Cause #5: Noise
Noise-induced hearing loss occurs when daily sounds from the environment, such as television, traffic, and appliances, damage the sensitive structures in the inner ear. It can be either immediate or gradual, temporary or permanent.
Noise-induced hearing loss can also cause tinnitus, which can occur in one or both ears. Prevention includes wearing protective earplugs, avoiding loud noises, and having your hearing tested if you suspect hearing loss. Severe cases may require a hearing implant.
