Although there are many causes, statistically speaking there are only three main causes of a ringing in the ear. The three causes listed below are responsible for over 95% of all reported tinnitus cases.
Ears ringing from exposure to loud noise (cochlea damage tinnitus) - 80 to 85% of all reported tinnitus cases
Ear ringing from continued exposure to loud noises is by far the most common form of this condition. Other common events that can lead to a ringing in the ears are a severe blow to the head (like when the airbag in your car deploys in a motor accident), ear infections and earwax removals.
A ringing in the ear from stress - 8% of tinnitus cases
When one is subjected to stress for long periods of time extremely loud bouts of ear ringing are often experienced. This is because an important part of the brain (the hypothalamus) stops producing some essential trace elements which your body needs to function normally.
A ringing in the ears is only one of the side effects that can occur when this happens. Stress is the second most common cause of ear ringing.
A ringing in the ears from sinus - 5% of tinnitus cases
People who have suffered with sinus and allergies over a long period of time often resort to antibiotics or anti-histamines in an attempt to control the sinus and hay fever symptoms. Often the mucous in the inner ear will become thicker as a side effect of all those anti-biotic's. When this occurs you get a buildup of mucous in the inner ear because the mucous cannot easily drain out of the inner ear through the Eustachian tubes.
This can lead to infections and ear ringing and the only real way to treat this condition is to get that mucous thinned down so it can drain out.
Ear ringing from sinus infections are the third most common form of tinnitus.
Between them the three causes of ear ringing mentioned above are responsible for over 95% of all cases of a ringing in the ears.
