Hi Mariuccia, tinnitus can have various causes, depending on an inflammatory situation of some internal parts of the ear, a psychological state of stress , hypertension, hypocusis, carotid stenosis, cardiac malformations. Smoking is undoubtedly one of the components that acts on hypertension. hi Grieco Rosa r.grieco53@gmail.com

Yes dear, high blood pressure can be one of the causes (but not the only one) and smoking certainly doesn’t help. A check-up by an ENT is the right choice. Often behind the tinnitus there are more important pitfalls and also to the detriment of hearing so a professional opinion can only make you feel more serene in a preventive way. Subsequently, based on the result of the visit, he will be able to decide which path to take to solve the problem.

Some patients have clearly reported to me the appearance of a certain buzz as a sign of increased blood pressure and therefore dangerous for those subjects; therefore it is plausible that a ringing in the ears will occur when a certain level of high blood pressure is reached, even if it is a subjective and not very precise indicator. Unlike the previous one, usually, a tinnitus is a steady and continuous buzz over time and does not stop when the pressure drops. Instead, sometimes tinnitus is often associated with anxious or depressive states and mood disorders, in such cases intervening on these can moderate the reactivity to tinnitus and improve the level of quality of life. Cigarette smoking tends to promote the increase in blood pressure due to nicotine which is exciting for the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system. Friendliness
