The booming U.S. economy, in which imports tripled from $23 million in 1790 to $78 million in 1807, brought in far more tariffs to pay off the debt. Still, the deficit-cutting plan hit a setback when Jefferson decided in 1803 to add $15 million of debt to the mound he inherited.
A variety of other conditions and illnesses can lead to tinnitus, including: Blockages of the ear due to a buildup of wax, an ear infection, or rarely, a benign tumor of the nerve that allows us to hear (auditory nerve)
Middle ear problems that cause hearing problems can also cause tinnitus. These include common entities such as middle ear infection and uncommon ones such as otosclerosis, which hardens the tiny ear bones or ossicles. Another, rare, cause of tinnitus from the middle ear that does not result in hearing loss is muscle spasms of one of the two tiny muscles in the ear. In this case, the tinnitus can be intermittent and at times, the examiner can also hear the sounds.
