tinnitus ("ringing" or "buzzing") in her left ear and vertigo (the sensation that she and her
surroundings are moving relative to one another, when she is standing or sitting still). She says these
attacks have been becoming more frequent over the past year or so and that now, between attacks,
she feels as though she can't hear as well with her left ear as she can with her right. Your
examination reveals that the auditory threshold is indeed elevated in her left ear, whether you use air
conduction or bone conduction. You also notice that touching either cornea with a wisp of cotton
causes her right eye to blink briskly and her left eye to blink somewhat sluggishly. Then you notice
that she seems to have a somewhat asymmetrical smile: The right side of her face moves more than
the left. Which of the following best accounts for this patient's list of problems?

- Tinnitus produces a ringing sound in the ear, although no external sound is actually present. It is a symptom that manifests from various underlying conditions of the ear. One condition that leads to tinnitus is earwax impaction. Many individuals use cotton swabs to clean the auditory canal daily. Instead of removing the earwax, cotton swabs tend to push the earwax farther into the auditory canal, causing the earwax to accumulate in the ear. This may result in tinnitus and decreased ability to hear.
