Does kidney deficiency cause unilateral persistent tinnitus?

Kidney deficiency may cause unilateral persistent tinnitus.

Kidney deficiency refers to the weakness or loss of kidney function, which may affect the function of various systems and organs of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney controls water and is closely related to the ear. Kidney deficiency may lead to insufficient kidney essence, which may affect the normal function of the ear and cause unilateral persistent tinnitus. However, it should be noted that, in addition to kidney deficiency, the above symptoms may also be caused by cochlear damage, earwax blockage, otitis media and other diseases. It is suggested to seek medical examination after symptoms appear, clarify specific causes and actively treat them.
