The ringing in my ears is constant. It bothers me the most in quiet settings. The more quiet it is the louder the ringing is. Within the last month I have noticed this ringing is constantly there every evening. It gives me a headache. It helps to have other noises in the area that I am in. The other noises help me not to hear the ringing, such as a fan, music, ect. I have had trouble hearing when there are alot of background noises for about 5 yrs. I do not have vertigo. I do not get dizzy. My ears only hurt in the wind. The ringing has gotten very annoying over the past month. Have you heard of this problem before? What is it and what can i do about it?

It could indeed be Tinnitus.



This extremely irritating and stressful condition of the ear is usually not caused by any external noise. This auditory sensation, or ringing in the ears, as it is widely known affects thousands of people. It involves a ringing noise in the ears which may or may not be accompanied by hearing loss. Although many tinnitus sufferers can hear perfectly well, some others experience such loud ringing in the ears that other sounds are virtually blocked out. This severe condition renders them helpless as they loose sleep and concentration.



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. Nearly 36 million Americans suffer from this disorder. In almost all cases, only the patient can hear the noise.



There is actually no cure for tinnitus with the conventional medicine. And, since last many years, the onus has been on the herbal industry to provide relief, if any, to tinnitus sufferers.



Tinnitus is usually due to damage to the microscopic ends of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Perfect hearing is possible only if these nerves remain healthy and any damage to these nerves results in tinnitus or hearing impairment.



Some herbal remedies exist which 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 & biochemic tissue salts 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 is also useful in reducing pain and inflammation.

• Salicylic Ac. (30C) 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.

• Ferrum phosphoricum (Ferrum phos. D6) is a homeopathic biochemic tissue salt which supports the absorption of iron in the body. The protective myelin sheath which surrounds all nerve tissue needs iron to supply this vital nutrient to the nerve cells it encases. Regular use of Ferrum phos. can help to prevent dizziness, headaches and restlessness and is of great benefit for those who tend to feel irritable, tense and tired.

• Magnesium phosphate (Mag. phos. D6) well-known as a homeopathic painkiller, Mag. phos. is also of great benefit to the health of the nerves. It acts as a natural anti-spasmodic and a nerve and muscle relaxant and is also frequently recommended for stress headaches.



Hope all this helps



Good Luck!

Hello, It's quite normal for your ears to 'pop' when you blow up air into your nose, in fact you'd have a problem if you couldn't do that. You need it for going up and down in lifts and aeroplanes. It's not clear whether this mucus is coming from the back of your nose, from the tubes to your in-most ears, or from up off your chest, - I wonder if you know? A high-pitched ringing in your ears is called 'Tinnitus', pronounced tinn'' - i - tus. It's caused by irritation of the hearing-nerve cells in the inner ears, and usually seems to be coming from both ears at the same time. It's most commonly associated with some hearing loss for high-pitched noises, usually caused by exposure to very loud noises, including the over-use of personal hi-fi ear-phones. Tinnitus is pretty normal in older people, and tends to get worse very gradually, (the ringing noise appears to be getting louder). If you're still quite young, it really needs looking in to. As others have said, you might well have some infection in your ears (s) which would respond to treatment. An infection might account for your sensitivity to sound. There's another thing called 'recruitment', - which is where, when people raise their voice, then it suddenly sounds very loud, - but it doesn't sound as if that's what you've got. Hope this is of some help. Belliger (retired UK GP)

Tinnitus management

Now that you know what causes tinnitus, how can you treat it? In the absence of an established cure, treatment programs



should include not only adjusting to the sensation of constant noise, but also learning to live with the numerous negative



consequences that may be associated with the problem.



Research has emerged suggesting tinnitus is both an audiological and psychological phenomenon, activating three areas of



the brain:

1) Central auditory nervous system, which determines which sounds you pay attention to,

2) Limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and some memory processes, and

3) Autonomic nervous system, which manages the stress and relaxation responses.



Many tinnitus sufferers experience considerable emotional distress and display thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors



that are similar to those in patients with depression, anger, and anxiety. Research consistently shows that cognitive-



behavioral therapy, a well-respected form of psychotherapy, can be useful in managing the emotional, thought, and



behavioral difficulties of people with tinnitus.

The answer is yes. It is possible to have tinnitus in one ear. It is the same case with eye problems. Most people have



vision impairment in one eye rather than both. The same applies to ear problems. At times, the ringing may be experienced



in one ear alone. Even so, depending on how loud the noise is, the noises can be disturbing. One way of easing the symptoms



of tinnitus is by educating yourself extensively about the problem.



The noise may be perceived as:



Chirping

Whistling

Hissing

Roaring

Humming

Shrieking

Buzzing

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.

It's tinnitus. It's a symptom, but not a disease in itself. There can be many causes, and whether it can be cured or not depends on the cause. I suggest that you go to an ear, nose, and throat specialist to find the cause.

Sounds like Tinnitus. Try rinsing your ears with rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work, see a doctor. He might be able to prescribe something.
