Tinnitus is a condition that produces ringing, hissing or buzzing sounds in the ear, notes WebMD. The condition can be caused by hearing loss, nerves damaged within the ear, or muscle movements that create sounds near the ear. Additional factors that cause tinnitus include certain medications, eardrum ruptures or infections, injuries to the inner ear, or changes in environmental pressure. In some cases, a build-up of ear wax can cause tinnitus to occur.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases
