Tinnitus is not a precursor to major diseases, but can be a clinical symptom of acoustic neuroma, secretory otitis media and cranial brain tumor.
Auditory neuroma: The etiology of solitary auditory neuroma is still unclear, while neurofibromatosis type II, is considered to be caused by autosomal dominant inheritance. Patients will have tinnitus, hearing loss, vertigo and other manifestations.
2. Secretory otitis media: secretory otitis media is mainly caused by bacterial or viral infection, or obstruction of the eustachian tube, dental malocclusion and other factors. Patients will show hearing loss, tinnitus and ear pain.
3. Brain tumor: the etiology of brain tumor is still unclear, and it is considered to be related to ionizing radiation, and patients will have headache, nausea and vomiting, optic nerve papilla edema, and pulsatile tinnitus.
