Hi Rekw

Cholesteatoma does have tinnitus as a symptom, alongside otitis media resulting from ear infection. Balance may be affected, hearing loss may develop.

The other symptoms (or some of them) being present or diagnosed might point to this being a potential reason that someone is experiencing tinnitus (as well as other issues).

This is the NHS' guide - nhs.uk/conditions/cholestea...

and the RNID's guide - rnid.org.uk/information-and...
