Tinnitus isn't a disease, it's a problem in which a person hears clicking, buzzing, swishing, or ringing on one or both ears. The condition can be caused by medications, tumors, ear trauma, exposure to loud noises, and Meniere's syndrome. The sounds coming from the ear can be so bothersome that it affects the person's quality of life.
Other medical conditions that can create ringing in your ears include: 1  age-related hearing loss. 2  muscle spasms in your middle ear. 3  Meniereâs disease (an inner ear condition that affects hearing and balance). 4  temperomandibular joint disorders that cause chronic pain in your jaw and head. 5  head and neck injuries.
