Question: Do you think tinnitus can cause vertigo?

Answer: No, it may coincide and have a common cause, but tinnitus does not cause vertigo. No it is a result --"Tinnitus is not an illness but an unwelcome symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes, including ear infections, foreign objects or wax in the ear, and injury from loud noises. Tinnitus is also a side-effect of some oral medications.

The sound perceived may range from a quiet background noise to a signal loud enough to drown out all outside sounds. The term 'tinnitus' usually refers to more severe cases.
