yes, you need see you gp to check for meniers and taking MRI for tumors.but do not worry about it in most cases it is norman.

I have tinnitus in one ear and also balance problems. If you also have balance problems, then I suggest you see your gp as it could be meniers, I didn't realise tinnitus in one ear could be a sign of meniers, I just thought it was normal.

Hi Sandra i have tinnitus in one ear too,i might heartinitus now and then in the other ear but not offen.mine is due to loss off hearing in one ear.

the answer is no, you can get it in both ears, like me, or be lucky and have it only in one ear.
