Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. If you have had a recent cold get an Impedance Audiogram (Tympanogram) done to check for change sin middle ear pressures or fluid build-up in the middle ear that can cause the tinnitus and imbalance.

2. An ear drum examination and a Pure Tone Audiogram (PTA) will check for hearing loss that can also cause the tinnitus.

3. If these are normal (as per age), a Neurologist's opinion must be sought with test for imbalance. Also get an eye examination done.

4. The most common causes for ear related dizziness are BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) , Meniere's Disease and Vestibular Neuritis. Some intensity of tinnitus is normal as per age related hearing loss.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
