If a patient has tinnitus does it mean that pathology is in the inner ear?
Tinnitus can be seen with a problem to the middle ear or the inner ear. It may also be seen due to a buildup of earwax in the EAC.
Tinnitus has been further classified according to its initial triggers as a primary tinnitus, which is either associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) or is idiopathic (or unknown cause), and a secondary tinnitus, which is related to other causes such as an organic origin. Thank you.
