Can Tinnitus be caused by HIV infection?

[edit] Causes of subjective tinnitus
Tinnitus can have many different causes, but most commonly results from otologic disorders - the same conditions that cause hearing loss. The most common cause is noise-induced hearing loss, resulting from exposure to excessive or loud noises. Ototoxic drugs can cause tinnitus either secondary to hearing loss or without hearing loss, and may increase the damage done by exposure to loud noise, even at doses that are not in themselves ototoxic.[13]

Otologic problems and hearing loss:
conductive hearing loss
external ear infection
cerumen (earwax) impaction

lead
neurologic disorders:
multiple sclerosis
head injury
skull fracture
