2-High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is a measure of the force that your heart uses to circulate blood around your body system. Normal blood pressure is defined to be less than 120/80 mmHg. Anything above means your heart needs to work harder to pump blood to the cells and tissues that need it. That implies an increase in pumping force, which is easily noticed by your ears.

High blood pressure can lead to changes in your blood viscosity, causing less blood and oxygen to flow to your inner ear structures. If that is left untreated, it can lead to hearing problems or hearing loss. Kinked or narrowed blood vessels around the neck can also lead to increased blood pressure, which consequently disrupts blood flow in the body, leads to tinnitus, and ultimately cause an aneurism.
