The most widely accepted cause of Tinnitus is exposure to loud noise. But that still only accounts for about 25% of the tinnitus population. Many, many people have NOT been exposed to loud noise and still have tinnitus.

So what else could there be?

ALLERGIES - food, medication, additives
INFECTIONS
MUSCLE TENSION in neck and shoulders - posture,
Car accidents causing whip lash
TMJ, dental treatments
Eustachian Tubes problems,
PULSATILE TINNTUS - most of the time muscular.

Many famous people had or have T.

Most of us know that taking too much aspirin can cause mild tinnitus. But this goes away when the aspirin is stopped. But is that what doctors think tinnitus is?

They have no idea of the various sounds people hear. These sounds can range from mild to severe PLUS! Some sound like a bad plague of cicadas - others sound like a jetplane overhead 24 hours a day.
And there are many shades in between.

Some people have managed to make a sound recording of their tinnitus and play it back to the doctor. That makes quite an impression.
