A Spanish-language health video explains tinnitus (zumbido en los oídos) as a symptom with multiple causes, not something to ignore. The speaker, Dr. Enrique Salazar, walks through seven common causes—noise exposure, earwax buildup, high blood pressure, stress/anxiety, ototoxic medications, temporomandibular joint problems, and natural aging—and then offers five practical management strategies, including sound therapy, stress reduction, diet changes, exercise, and medical evaluation.

The speaker’s core message is that tinnitus is a real symptom that can reflect several different problems, and people should not dismiss it as harmless or inevitable. He frames it as something he sees frequently in clinic, sometimes severe enough to affect sleep, concentration, and mood, and argues that identifying the underlying cause is the first step toward relief. He presents the video as both educational and actionable: seven causes, then five solutions. He begins with the auditory mechanism: sound is normally processed by the external ear, middle ear, and inner ear, especially the cochlea and its delicate hair cells. Damage or irritation to those cells can produce false signals the brain interprets as sound. He says noise exposure is the most common cause and emphasizes that damage is cumulative, not just the result of one loud event. …
Immediate setup is medical, not market-based: the key actionable point is to identify reversible triggers quickly, especially pulsatile tinnitus, hearing loss, wax blockage, or a medication change. The near-term risk is missing a treatable cause by self-managing too long.
Over the next several weeks or months, the likely path is symptom reduction if the trigger is found and treated, especially when multiple contributors are addressed together. If the noise persists despite basic interventions, the case should escalate to audiology, ENT, dental/TMJ, or mental-health evaluation.
The structural view is that tinnitus is often a chronic multi-factor symptom tied to hearing preservation, vascular health, medication exposure, and stress physiology. Long term, prevention and cross-disciplinary care matter more than any single remedy.
Tinnitus is a real perceived sound, not imagination, and it can signal a more serious underlying issue.
He states the sound is real to the sufferer and warns it may be a warning sign.
Noise exposure is the most common cause of tinnitus and the damage is cumulative and permanent when hair cells are destroyed.
He ties prolonged loud sound to hair-cell death and says these cells do not regenerate.
Earwax buildup can cause tinnitus and is often reversible with proper removal rather than home swabbing.
He gives a case where cleaning the wax eliminated symptoms and warns against cotton swabs.
