An earwax blockage can exert uncomfortable internal pressure. A consultation with a health professional for a proper cleaning is often enough to solve the problem.
Blood circulation may also be involved. Too high blood pressure or poor irrigation can cause a rhythmic buzzing sound, synchronized with the heartbeat.
Stress and anxiety deserve your full attention. When the nervous system is under pressure, the perception of inner sounds tends to intensify markedly.
Finally, certain drug treatments — antibiotics, anti-inflammatories or antidepressants — can impact hearing. If tinnitus has developed after taking medication, it is important to talk to your doctor.
