My ear started ringing yesterday. Its clogged and I cant hear very well at all. I have no medical and do not have the money to go see a doctor. What can I do to take care of it or make it go away?
Please, I cant stand this.

have you try flushing it out with warm water

I’ve only realized my left ear ringing loudly for the past two days. It’s Summer, and there’s a lot of white cotton things in the air, could that be a reason why it is ringing, because it’s inside? And what can I do to get rid of it, decongestants?

Cottonwood trees can trigger breathing problems but I’ve never heard of it affecting the ears. You need to see an ENT specialist. (Ears, nose, throat) Lots of things can trigger ringing in the ears, so please see an ETN doctor right away. If your family doctor has to refer you to one, then ask him to do so. A specialist deals with ringing in the ears all the time, so your case isn’t unique in any way.

I have constant ear ringing problem since 4 months and Doctor says there is no treatment. Then I saw this herbal medicine called X-tinnitus capsule with lots of customer testimony. Does this really help?

i know someone with the same problem, he now tries to use as less electronic devices as possible, so no cellphone, no pc, no tv etc, he says it helped a lot
I’m not sure if there’s any medication to help you

for past days ive had this ringing in my right ear , it sounds like the static of a small tv on black n white screen anything to help cope with this ?

go to the drug store and check your blood pressure

So about a month ago I was having a weird feeling in my head, so I took a shower to see if it would help, when I layed down to go to sleep I noticed a slight ringing in my right ear, and it hasn’t stopped since. I am 16.

That is called tinnitus. It comes from loud noise, ear infection, too much ear bud use, too loud use of ear buds (or any other ear phone device), or may be associated with hearing loss.
It may go away on it’s own or it may last your whole life.
If you use an I-pod or other music thing, take a break from it and see if your ears recover.

I just had surgery to repair a hole in my eardrum 3 days ago, but I can still hear some ringing in that ear. Could this mean that the surgery has not worked properly?

1] no
2] tympanoplasty takes a while to heal - you will prob need several weeks
a] may still have packing in
b] I know they won’t even do a hearing test for 4 to 6 weeks

my ear started ringing three days ago ,it is aclicking noise realy instead of a solid ringing.my doctor is treating it as a sinus infection. any suggestions ?

probably ur doctor is correct..
if the noise is described as " clicky " then most often it is due to a condition called Esutachain tube dysfunction………..
It is a narrow tube running from back of nose to back of ear drum , its function is to suppply air to ear…………due to nose block, this tube can close or not function properly ..giving ear symptoms….clicking noise is when the mucle which holds this tube tries to open it unsuccessfully…

if u are nasal spray. antiallergic medications then u should get over this in 2-3 weeks time..
one way to know about it is to get a test called ‘tympanometry’ done

My hearing tests reveal no hearing loss so what does this mean? Everything online talks about noise induced hearing loss but in my case my ears started ringing because of a bad cold. Does this mean I’m going to lose my hearing soon?

No. You will not lose your hearing if you take measures of things you should know about tinnitus. It is commonly caused by too much noises around you such as music, neighbors, cars, and a lot more. Simple irritation could lead into something worst so I suggest that if it will not go away after few more days then you consult a doctor immediately to avoid further infections.

I have unexplained ringing in my left ear without any hearing loss present. Will it work for me or not?

Assuming it is not connected with loud music or industrial noise…if so then you would need to stop using ipods/mp3s/other music players or get health and safety advise if it was in any way related to employment/industrial noise. Hopefully neither of these scenarios.

Unless aspirin has been prescribed by a doctor, as a life-saving drug for instance for one who has heart disease, in which case it should be taken as prescribed….otherwise one not on this as a prescription drug with tinnitus should avoid it. Over-use can cause ringing in the ears. If prescribed aspirin you would need to talk to your doctor.

Non-noise related tinnitus has also been associated with a deficiency of zinc according to a Japanese study [ http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/VF/HealthNotes/HN_live_uk/Concern/Tinnitus.htm , ref 5 therein, in Japanese. ]. You could try a good quality multivitamin supplement that contains both zinc and copper. You need to have copper too if you are going to supplement with zinc for any length of time because supplementing with one can lead to a deficiency of the other and both are needed for health. You could alternatively increase your intake of seeds and nuts…particularly pumpkin seeds rich in both zinc and copper naturally. Seeds and nuts are also rich in magnesium and that may help too by way of improving circulation. Low magnesium levels can cause blood vessels to constrict. The inner ear is supposed to have a high concentration of zinc. So even a slight deficiency might have an impact.

Cut back on caffeine and alcohol too if you take these. They could make ringing worse.

If none of this helps, herbs that may offer some help include ginkgo biloba, garlic, and black cohosh. You could try one of these but don’t take any herbs if you are on any prescribed medications without first consulting with your doctor or pharmacist.

No one should ever come off any prescribed drugs without consulting their doctor first. And no one should take any supplements or herbs if on prescribed medications without consulting their doctor or pharmacist first…and the same applies to having any medical condition, including pregnancy.

No one can say what will work for one because everyone is different. If this has gone on for any length of time you need to see an ENT Consultant.

Best wishes.

My dad said when people here a ringing in there a for a little while one of the hairs in your ear is dying or something like that. But I don’t think that is it. I still hear stuff but if the room is quiet or in complete silence I can hear it very clearly. So why do I always hear a ringing?

Classic symptoms of 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.

Wax buildup in the outer ear, ruptured eardrum, congested Eustachian tubes, some infection, Ménière’s disease, Side effects of certain drugs like sedatives, antidepressants (as in your case), 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.

Valium, Xanax and Klonopin are benzodiazepine drugs that many doctors prescribe for tinnitus. These are conventional medications which achieve only limited success in tinnitus relief, and usually their bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation often discourage use.

They are addicting to varying degrees and cannot be used continuously for a long period of time. They are helpful in reducing tinnitus symptoms and aid in sleeping. Valium is the most addicting of these and is not used often for this reason.

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.

There is actually no cure for tinnitus with the conventional medicine. Actually, 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 result 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 s 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!
