10 Causes of Ringing In Ears
Cause #7: Tumors
Some tumors, such as an acoustic neuroma, can cause tinnitus. An acoustic neuroma (also known as a vestibular schwannoma) is a benign tumor that develops on the cranial nerve, which controls balance and hearing. It only causes tinnitus in the affected ear.
Other symptoms include dizziness, hearing loss, facial numbness, and unsteadiness. Treatment of an acoustic neuroma involves regular observation, radiation therapy, and surgical removal.
