Ear Noises or Buzzing: Common Causes
It is not known exactly what causes a person to "hear" sounds where there is no outside source of the noise. However, tinnitus can be a symptom of almost any ear problem, including ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, and injury from loud noises. Alcohol, caffeine, antibiotics, aspirin, or other drugs can also cause ear noises.
Tinnitus may occur with hearing loss. Occasionally, it is a sign of high blood pressure, an allergy, or anemia. Very rarely, tinnitus is a sign of a serious problem like a brain tumor or an aneurysm (a blood vessel that is damaged, weakening the walls of the vessel that can eventually rupture).
