Tinnitus: The most common cause of tinnitus is Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL). A hearing test is an excellent idea, as is a consultation with an ENT Surgeon who will scope your eustachian tube to determine whether it is patulous. The next step will be to find a tinnitus clinic. Studies have shown several other conditions can cause tinnitus, and your doctor will determine what lab tests they will run.
