I have had this always and it is very annoying, but not noticeable unless in silence which doesn't happen for me a lot... I do not listen to loud music or do anything that can damage my ear but it is just like a ringing.. and it is ALWAYS there and sometimes it is not there at all really. I can hear the blood in my head as well but the ringing kind of takes over... Is this ear damage? But I never really noticed it hard until now but I know I always had it because I remember being 2 years old hearing it... I am 15 now though.

Ringing/buzzing in the ear is called, Tinnitus and many people are affected by it, at least from time to time.



It can be caused by many things. Wax build-up in the ears, sinus problems, noise exposure, dental issues, TMJ (jaw disorder,) etc.



It can also be a symptom of high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, and anxiety. If both you and your father are bothered by this regularly, discuss it with your doctor. You should find out the reason behind it and there are treatments that can help.

In most cases tinnitus is relatively minor. That is not to say that it is not also extremely irritating and annoying as well. There are many differences of opinion when it comes to how to cure tinnitus. While many believe there is no cure others believe that there are various things that a person can do to stop this problem. And in general definition wouldn't that constitute as a cure?



Some people often times suffer from this condition and do not even know it. They may get the occasional ringing in the ears that doesn't seem to go away. But in the end, it does go away and they forget about it. If these instances where it happens and goes away start to get more frequent, you should pay careful attention as it can turn very serious, very fast!



There are varying degrees of tinnitus. In some cases it may be a simple ringing of the ears. In other more extreme cases however this ringing can become very loud blocking out all other sound. When this happens it can become quite troubling for the person experiencing it because they hear little else.

Today that you identify what generate tinnitus, how can you cure it? In the lack of an established medication, medication programs should include not just adjusting to the sensation of continual noise, but also learning to live with the various bad results that can be related with the difficulty.



Investigate has emerged suggesting tinnitus is both an audiological and psychological phenomenon, triggering three fields of the brain:

1) Fundamental auditory nervous system, that control which sounds you pay attention to,

2) Limbic system, who is in charge for emotions and some memory operations, and

3) Autonomic nervous system, which manages the anxiety and relaxation feedback.

Many tinnitus sufferers experience extensive sentimental £distress£anxiety£discomfort} and expose reflection patterns, faiths, and behaviours that are comparable to those in subjects with depression, anger, and anxiety. Analysis usually demonstrates that cognitive-behavioural remedy, a good-important pattern of psychotherapy, can be useful in managing the nervous, thought, and behavioural problems of persons with tinnitus.

Tinnitus affects over 36 million Americans. A medical condition arising from dysfunction in the auditory system, tinnitus



is characterized by persistent ringing, roaring, and/or clicking noises that rarely subside. If you have tinnitus, it can



make you feel like you're going crazy. But you don't have to suffer - tinnitus is treatable.



Before you can treat tinnitus, it's important to know what causes it. The short answer: a variety of things. Tinnitus can



be caused by something as simple as wax buildup on the eardrum, or something more serious like a tumor on the hearing



nerve. Various ear diseases are associated with tinnitus, as are effects from drug or alcohol abuse.



But most often it's repeated exposure to loud noises like gunfire, rock concerts, and chain saws that cause tinnitus. So it



makes sense that one of the best ways to prevent tinnitus is to protect and preserve your hearing, whose complex mechanism



turns sound waves into meaningful information your brain can process and identify.



Sound waves enter the ear canal and vibrate the ear drum. This causes the middle ear mechanism (ossicles) to vibrate,



sending the sound waves on to the inner ear and brain. Here they are turned into data your brain recognizes as sounds. Soft



sounds like whispers don't cause any harm, but loud sounds like airplane jets cause discomfort and, after repeated



exposure, hearing damage such a tinnitus.

I heard ringing in my ears too, like louder hearing test. It could be tinnitus. Gets louder over time. Use this to reduce the ringing.

Its tinnitus for sure.



Tinnitus can be broadly classified into two types: Objective which is caused by vascular sounds in the head and neck or muscular contractions of the middle ear or the soft palate in the mouth. Your doctor can easily hear the same sounds on examination as you are yourself hearing.



Subjective tinnitus refers to buzzing, roaring, ringing or whistling in the ear which may be continuous or intermittent and are only heard by the sufferer, i.e. a doctor is unable to hear the same sounds. Subjective tinnitus is more common than objective tinnitus.



Wax buildup in the outer ear, ruptured eardrum, congested Eustachian tubes, some infection, Ménière’s disease, Side effects of certain drugs like sedatives, antidepressants, pain killers etc., Damage caused due to overexposure to loud noise, Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides level, diabetes, head or neck injury etc. are some reasons why humans have tinnitus.



There is no cure for tinnitus with conventional medicine and even the drugs recommended for bringing relief have quite a few bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation.



Xanax is very popular and is prescribed often for tinnitus. However, the ATA report on medications that cause tinnitus lists Xanax as causing it in 6.6% of cases.



Natural and holistic tinnitus remedies can be effective in assisting with the relief of symptoms, as well as addressing the individual’s overall health and well-being.



These herbal remedies can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.



Some of the most common herbs used are



• Ginkgo Biloba is excellent for a number of cerebral and circulatory disorders. It is probably the most widely-used herb for tinnitus and many sufferers swear by this natural ingredient.

• Rosemary dilates and strengthens blood vessels and is an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary is particularly useful for tinnitus that is caused or worsened by high blood pressure and other circulatory conditions.

• Avena Sativa is effective in reducing high cholesterol levels which can contribute to circulatory problems which cause tinnitus.

• Wild Hyssop s also useful in reducing pain and inflammation.

• Salicylic Ac. is indicated for tinnitus with loud roaring or ringing sounds, which may be accompanied by deafness or vertigo. This remedy is particularly useful in people whose symptoms began with a bout of flu, Meniere’s disease or long-term use of aspirin.



Hope all this helps



Good Luck!

When i was first diagnosed with tinnitus 5 years ago, i was devastated and confused. it had become a real and meaningful threat to my life. i finally found the right combination of treatments that have since eliminated the noise i used to hear in my ears. amazingly, my tinnitus completely disappeared https://tr.im/pgg27
