Stress is a frequent causative agent for tinnitus. It can also worsen existing tinnitus. Lack of sleep can definitely worsen tinnitus by adding stress.

It is first important to note that tinnitus is not a disease process in and of itself. Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head. The sounds have been described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, tones, music, etc. Tinnitus is a common side effect of medications. It can also be a symptom of some other disease process. For this reason, it is important to see a specialist, specifically an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician, if you are experiencing tinnitus. They will help you to determine if the tinnitus is being caused by one of your medications, and more importantly they will order special tests that confirm or rule out disease processes for which tinnitus is a symptom. So is there a cure for tinnitus? The answer is that it depends on the underlying cause. Take the necessary steps to determine what is causing the tinnitus, and you'll be that much closer to finding a cure.

The sensation of swooshing in the ear is often referred to as pulsatile tinnitus. This type of tinnitus is typically related to blood flow or muscle contractions near the ear. It is recommended to seek medical advice if you experience pulsatile tinnitus to determine the underlying cause.
