Why does my ear ring when I shake head?

Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external sound is present. It is a common symptom that can affect people of all ages. While tinnitus can be caused by a variety of underlying conditions, one of the most common causes is a condition called Meniere's disease.

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects the balance and hearing organs. It is characterized by episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. The exact cause of Meniere's disease is unknown, but it is thought to be related to an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the inner ear.

Tinnitus is often a symptom of Meniere's disease, and it can be one of the most bothersome symptoms for some people. The ringing in the ears can be constant or intermittent, and it can be mild or severe. In some cases, tinnitus can be so severe that it can interfere with daily activities.

If you are experiencing tinnitus, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions. Treatment for tinnitus will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of Meniere's disease, treatment may include medications, dietary changes, and surgical intervention.
