I've noticed for the past few days that my ears have been ringing. Anytime it gets quiet, I notice it. I have a headache right now, but I think that might be from sitting in front of the t.v. for too long. Why do people's ears ring, and is there anyway to stop it? It's starting to really get on my nerves.

Tinnitus
it is called Tinnitus

Tinnitus, or 'ringing in the ears', refers to hearing sounds such as tones, whistling, wind rushing, crickets, etc. that aren't acoustically generated. In other words, a person with Tinnitus can hear them in a quiet room. The most common Tinnitus sound is a tone.

Most people experience a temporary Tinnitus condition at some point in their life, such as after a loud concert, or as a complication to an inner ear infection. Unfortunately for more than 16% of the adult population, this condition is chronic - it never goes away. Of the 50+ million people in North America with chronic Tinnitus, 12 million have a severe case. For these people it is not unusual to perceive a tone greater than 90 dB-SPL. Note that 80dB-SPL is the level in industry at which a hearing conservation program is required. (Room-level conversation is typically 65 dB-SPL and a jet engine is around 110 dB-SPL)

Chronic Tinnitus can be caused in a number of ways: an over-exposure to constant loud or explosive noise (on the job exposure is a common source), reaction to medication, a head injury (car crashes are a common source), complication of illness, and others.

One of the most common complaints related to Tinnitus is that it adversely affects sleeping patterns. Sufferers find they can't get to sleep in a quiet room because of the annoying sound they perceive in their head. For many, this results in being progressively sleep deprived, and can start a downward spiral in psychological health. The reality is that Tinnitus is the only hearing affliction where anxiety, depression, and contemplating suicide are normal psychological complications. For most sufferers, their perceived level of Tinnitus is not constant and can worsen from exposure to high intensity noise, negative emotional pressures, heavy physical exertion, caffeine, salt, tobacco, allergens, and certain medications. Note that a common complication of aspirin for Tinnitus sufferers is that it temporarily worsens (makes louder) their Tinnitus.

Outside of a cure, the most common desire of Tinnitus sufferers is to be able to control their Tinnitus rather than have it control them. A major factor in this is being able to sleep well and have the energy to face Tinnitus every day. When Tinnitus sufferers feel they have control, they are able to lead productive lives and many are able to get off all medications. The key to getting control is working with an audiologist to establish a personal Tinnitus management program.

A Tinnitus Management program is a set of coping strategies that may vary depending on the level of activity and environment. It rarely is a one-component program. Typical program components include hearing aids, masking, residual inhibition, dietary and lifestyle changes, counseling, and support groups

Stop Ringing In Ears Fast

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a surprisingly common condition which affects millions of people. Although it is often

referred to as "Ringing in the Ears" the sound heard might not be ringing (it can be a buzzing, hissing etc.).

Sufferers hear this sound constantly although, in many cases, it may only be noticeable when in a quiet environment. Cases

can vary from those where it is just irritating through to those where the life of the sufferer is severely disrupted.

There are two types of Tinnitus:

Objective Tinnitus - where the sound is real and can be heard by a doctor.

Subjective Tinnitus - where the sound does not really exist. This is the most common type representing about 90% of cases.

Objective Tinnitus can usually be treated but Subjective Tinnitus has no easy cure which has lead to a great array of

treatments being marketed.

Cause Of Tinnitus

The cause of Subjective Tinnitus is now understood to be the brain responding to hearing deterioration in an inappropriate

way. If a person can no-longer hear certain frequencies the brain may respond by generating the perception of noise to fill

the gap. This has been compared to people who have had an arm or leg amputated and still feel an aching, itching or even

pain in the limb that is no longer there. Scans have shown the brain activity generating the noise but it is still not

understood why this happens and why it only happens in some people.

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

You may have a sinus infection, which is causing the ear ringing and the headaches. You should see your doctor. Sometimes high blood pressure can cause ear ringing or tinnitus. Also some medications can cause tinnitus. Visit with your doctor and follow recommendations.

Tinnitus can be cause by a lot of different things. Go to the doctor and let him have a look. You may have an ear infection or some scar tissue build up in your ears.

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.

Call your doctor. This can be a sign of ear infection or other damage to the internals of your ear.
