Tinnitus frequently affects the ability to concentrate and can cause hearing issues. The ringing in the ear doesn't subside and is caused by a sensory nerve. Side effects from tinnitus can include nausea, vertigo and sensitivity to sounds.3‘Tinnitus.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 4 Feb. 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tinnitus/symptoms-causes/syc-20350156
