Tinnitus: Have an ear exam to check for wax build up or any other ear pathology. Tinnitus, however, is often of unknown cause and is a very prevalent disorder which can arise in a nerve or in the brain. Your md will advise you on how much testing is indicated in your case. There is no specific cure in most cases of tinnitus.
