Frequently asked questions
What causes tinnitus?
Noise exposure, certain medications, earwax buildup, and age-related hearing changes are common causes — your clinician reviews your history and any recent changes to help narrow this down. Stress and lack of sleep can also make existing tinnitus feel more noticeable, even without a new cause.
When is tinnitus a medical emergency?
Sudden tinnitus paired with sudden hearing loss needs urgent, same-day evaluation, since prompt treatment can affect the outcome — this isn't something to wait on. This combination needs same-day attention because early treatment can meaningfully affect long-term hearing outcomes. This combination can sometimes indicate a circulation problem needing prompt attention.
Can tinnitus be a side effect of a medication I'm taking?
Yes, several common medications — including some antibiotics, NSAIDs, and blood pressure drugs — can cause or worsen tinnitus, so your clinician will review your full medication list. Stopping or adjusting the suspected medication should only be done with your clinician's guidance, not on your own.
Will tinnitus go away on its own?
This depends on the cause — some cases improve once the trigger resolves, while others are more persistent and benefit from a management plan. Your clinician can help set realistic expectations based on what seems to be driving yours.
What side effects are associated with tinnitus treatments?
If a medication is the trigger, adjusting it usually resolves things without adding a new side effect; other management approaches carry their own considerations your clinician will review. Your clinician will explain what to expect based on which specific approach is recommended for you.
