Spherical damage to the inner ear structure of tiny nerve endings that carry information to the brain.

The majority of cases, especially in the young, are due to the cumulative effect of loud noises higher than 90 decibels.

Wax build up in the air can give temporarily Tinnitus

Circulatory problems bring about the hardening of arteries due to age

Medications -- Antibiotics (e.g., aminoglycosides), Anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. aspirin) and Antidepressants

Sinus infections
