Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, occurs when there is a blockage in the eustachian tubes. It affects about one in five individuals and is often a symptom of an underlying condition, though not always. It has been known to worsen with age and improve with treatment. When the eustachian tubes are blocked, it may cause ringing in the ear instead of the individual being able to hear outside noise. Also known as a circulatory problem, tinnitus may result in mild hearing impairment or a type of head noise.
