Things that cause hearing loss (and tinnitus) include loud noise, medications that damage the nerves in the ear (ototoxic drugs), impacted earwax, middle ear problems (such as infections and vascular tumors), and aging.
How and why tinnitus occurs remains largely a mystery, but itâs well known that some drugs, notably aspirin, can cause or worsen it. Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss. Aspirinâs potential effect on hearing was first reported soon after the drug was synthesized more than a century ago.
