Repeated ear infections can cause scar tissue in the middle ear. This scarring can cause irritation of the nerve endings and cause tinnitus. Scarring can also close off tiny blood vessels in the middle ear and cause a pulsating kind of head noise.Treatment is only required if there is hearing loss. Hearing aids can be beneficial, as with any form of conductive hearing loss. Surgery: Surgery for tympanosclerosis involves excision of the sclerotic areas and reconstruction of the ossicular chain.
