Could a ringing in the ears be due to cervical arthritis?

Right around when I was diagnosed with my arthritis, I noticed a ringing in my ears began. I am wondering if these could be related?

Yes, it can be due to that, but there are also many other causes. Look for a doctor who can do differential diagnosis to eliminate causes until you find the exact one causing this- also look into an acupuncturist or acupressure specialist who can treat both the cervical arthritis and the tinnitus, often very successfully.

Yes, they may be related. Since arthritis an inflammation issue it may indicate a larger problem with say, your spine. It may be indcating a larger problem.

The ringing of the ears is not directly related to arthritis but since arthritis is usually treated with NSAIDs (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs)these drugs can develop tinnitus or ringing of the ears if overdosed.
