Tinnitus is usually caused by underlying conditions like hearing loss, ear infections or head and neck injuries. In some cases, it is the result of taking ototoxic medications (medication that causes damage to the hearing mechanisms of the ear<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treating the underlying cause or avoiding ototoxic medications can sometimes help manage tinnitus. However, some underlying causes, like hearing loss or M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease, may not be able to be cured, and there are instances where ototoxic medications are unavoidable (such as when treating cancer). When this is the case, using the tools you have available to manage your tinnitus symptoms is an excellent way to improve your quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
