Cause #6: Head or Neck Injuries
There are several complications that can arise if you injure your head or neck. Many of these are serious, such as concussions or fractures. Some of them are less serious but very irritating, including tinnitus.
This is because head trauma can have an impact on the inner ear. You can do damage to the cells in your ears, the nervous pathways that connect the ear canal to your brain, or the brain itself. Any of these injuries can cause hearing abnormalities such as tinnitus.
