There are many probable factors that can cause tinnitus. The most notable ones among them are constantly hearing loud sounds, obstructions caused by ear wax, and senility brought about by old age. In addition to them, certain medicines can also be held responsible for tinnitus, as a result of which the affected person has to bear the noises, day after day. In 1944, when Streptomycin hit the markets, and was widely prescribed to tackle tuberculosis, this was confirmed. Not only did Streptomycin have the customary side effects usually found with antibiotics, but it also caused tribulations in the vestibule as well as the internal parts of the ear (Cochlear). This meant that, those who were treated with this drug, experienced vertigo and problems in hearing as well.
