A member asked:

Could inflammation in neck make tinnitus 24/24?

Dr. Mark Fisher answered

Specializes in Neurology

No.: No. Tinnitus involves the vestibulocochlear nerve, which is a long way from your neck. Also, "inflammation in the neck" is way too vague. You have no idea how many tissues, organs and structures are packed into your neck. Inflammation of which of them?
