Tinnitus is often caused by damage or irritation to the hair cells within the inner ear. These hair cells are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound. When they are damaged, they can produce a range of phantom sounds or ringing in the ears known as tinnitus.
