Buzzing in the ears during late pregnancy

Women may experience tinnitus during pregnancy. Generally, the symptoms of tinnitus are relatively mild and will not affect normal life. So why do pregnant women experience tinnitus?

The pregnant woman may experience symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue in the limbs, shortness of breath, and palpitations.
