Could Intracranial Pressure Cause Tinnitus?

[Ricky81]

Here are my brain MRI results.. looks like my optic nerve is acting up and there seems to be pressure due to more fluid around brain since I was assault on the head... but over all doc said my brain is healthy.

What do you think? Could this pressure be the source of my Tinnitus?
My T is down since past month.. maybe due to NAC pills?

BRAIN:

There is bilateral distention of the optic nerve sheaths, with
flattening of the posterior globes and bulging of the optic nerve
heads, suggestive of papilledema and elevated intracranial pressure.
There is also an expanded, partially empty sella. Meckel's caves
appear slightly prominent.

Brain parenchyma appears normal. No mass lesion, abnormal
enhancement, infarction or hemorrhage is identified.

Ventricles are normal in size.

Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells appear clear.

IACs:

Posterior Fossa:
Brainstem and cerebellum appear unremarkable. No cerebello-pontine
angle cistern mass.

A vascular loop of the right anterior inferior cerebellar artery
slightly enters the right porous acusticus.

A vascular loop of the left superior cerebellar artery abuts the
medial cisternal segment of the left trigeminal nerve near the root
entry zone.

Temporal Bones:
Seventh and eighth nerve complexes appear unremarkable, without
evidence of mass. Otic capsule structures appear normal in signal.
Mastoid signal within normal limits. No other temporal bone signal
abnormality is identified.

@Ricky81 -

Elevated intracranial pressure (sometimes called pseudotumor cerebri) can sometimes be a factor in tinnitus, but it deserves attention regardless of whether or not such is the case. My suggestion would be to see a neurologist about effectively addressing your elevated intracranial pressure and consider any resultant tinnitus improvement (if any) to be a bonus.
