Is tinnitus a precursor to cerebral infarction?

The symptoms of tinnitus are usually caused by the symptoms of cerebral infarction, such as

dizziness, tinnitus, nausea and vomiting. However, tinnitus is not a specific symptom of cerebral infarction, but may also be caused by acoustic neuroma, otitis media and hypertension.

It is recommended that patients with tinnitus go to the hospital for electronic otoscopy, pure tone audiometry and middle ear tympanogram to clarify the cause and receive treatment.
