3. Tumors
A vascular neoplasm is a tumor that presses on a blood vessel in your head or neck. These can range from benign to malignant in sporadic cases, but are rare and require specialist analysis in order for a diagnosis. Similarly, an acoustic neuroma is a slow-growing, benign tumor that attaches itself to the cranial nerve.
Due to the proximity of such tumors to your ears, these can result in tinnitus. In such a case, it’s most likely that the ringing will occur only on one side, along with hearing and balance problems.
